Vapor Quickstart

This document assumes that the appropriate version of Swift is installed for Vapor. Right now, this is visible on the vapor section of the repository.

You can run the following to check compatibility:

curl -sL check.qutheory.io | bash

If you'd prefer to use our built in tool, you can find information here

Make new project using SwiftPM

Open your terminal

For our example, we'll be using the Desktop folder.

cd ~/Desktop
mkdir HelloVapor
cd HelloVapor
swift package init --type executable

Your folder should look like this:

├── Package.swift
├── Sources
│   └── main.swift
└── Tests

Edit `Package.swift`

Open your Package.swift file:

open Package.swift

And add Vapor as a dependency. Here's how your file will look.

Package.swift

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "HelloVapor",
    dependencies: [
        .Package(url: "https://github.com/qutheory/vapor.git", majorVersion: 0, minor: 15)
    ]
)

We try to keep this document up to date, however, you can view latest releases here

Edit `main.swift`

A simple hello world:

import Vapor

let drop = Droplet()

drop.get("/hello") { _ in
  return "Hello Vapor"
}

try drop.serve()

Build and Run

The first build command can take a while to fetch dependencies.

swift build
.build/debug/HelloVapor

If different, replace HelloVapor above with the name of your executable.

View

Go to your favorite browser and visit http://localhost:8000/hello
