Using sbt new command to create an simple project:
sbt new sbt/scala-seed.g8
Follow the prompt information, Input the project name to finish the setup:
A minimal Scala project.
name [Scala Seed Project]: scala-walk-through
Template applied in ./scala-walk-through
Now we have a basic project, check the directories structure:
ls -l scala-walk-through
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 kcsun staff 282 Jan 3 12:00 build.sbt
drwxr-xr-x 4 kcsun staff 136 Jan 3 12:00 project
drwxr-xr-x 4 kcsun staff 136 Jan 3 12:00 src
Let me explain the files:
build.sbt - the project configuration file, it includes basic information for the project like project name, group name, scala version, dependencies, etc.
project - this folder contains the file
build.properties used to set sbt version
plugins.sbt used to define all the available plugins for the build
Other project settings you want to extract from the build.sbt to make the main file clean and tight.
src - this folder maintains all the source code and test code. sbt has the same code structure style with Maven.
Modify the source code insrc/main/scala/example/Hello.scala to be:
Run your newest program with sbt command, you can use sbt run directly, or get into interactive mode with sbt, then execute run. You will get following output if you are lucky:
