Getting Started

A simple Http server can be built using a few lines of code.

import zio._
import zhttp.http._
import zhttp.service.Server

object HelloWorld extends App {
  val app = Http.collect[Request] {
    case Method.GET -> Root / "text" => Response.text("Hello World!")
  }

  override def run(args: List[String]): URIO[zio.ZEnv, ExitCode] =
    Server.start(8090, app).exitCode
}

Installation

Setup via build.sbt

libraryDependencies += "io.d11" %% "zhttp"      % "[version]"
libraryDependencies += "io.d11" %% "zhttp-test" % "[version]" % Test

NOTE: Currently ZIO Http is compatible with ZIO 1.x only. The library will migrate to ZIO 2.x as soon as a stable release is published.

Watch Mode

You can use the sbt-revolver plugin to start the server and run it in watch mode using ~ reStart command on the SBT console.
