fp starter pack

Giter8 template to get up and running with Cats, Zio, Fs2

As a bonus includes Li Haoyi's Ammonite REPL embedded into the test module so you can use Test/run to play with FP on the command line

g8 justinhj/fp-starter-pack.g8

or to use directly from sbt you can use:

sbt new justinhj/fp-starter-pack.g8

Reply to the questions to set each variable; the only one you have to change is the project name.

Instructions

Install sbt

Create the project as above

You can start writing code in src/main/scala/YOU/YOURPROJECT/YourProject.scala

You can access an Ammonite REPL (Ammonite greatly improves the Scala REPL) by runnning the following at the sbt prompt:

Test/run

Main libraries included

• Cats - Lighweight modular fp library (type classes and data types)
• ZIO - Typesafe composable async and concurrent programming
• Fs2 - pure functional streams
• Shapeless - Generic programming

What about Scalaz

Use the Scalaz branch to replace Cats with Scalaz

sbt new justinhj/fp-starter-pack.g8 --branch scalaz

Origin

This is a fork of bneil/finch-skeleton.g8

I used that excellent example of a g8 template and modified for my own ends by updating Scala, sbt, adding and removing libraries and plugins
