Directory structure

  • conf/routes defines how application routes HTTP GET requests to an action. Example:
# URI '/' calls index view (index.scala.html) 
GET     /                           controllers.HomeController.index

  • controller/ MVC

  • services/ MVC

  • views/ MVC; uses Twirl template engine

Actions

Most requests received by a Play application are handled by an Action.

Controllers are action generators.

WebSockets

Allows full duplex communication to/from browser.

Actions are used to handle standard HTTP requests and send back responses.

IntelliJ

Use sbt run to compile. Then, navigate to http://localhost:9000. Re-compile should happen automatically.
