frontend-bootstrap's Introduction

frontend-bootstrap

This library is in maintanance mode. We recommend migrating to bootstrap-play-{25,26}.

This library implements a basic Play Global object and related functionality for frontend applications.

Creating a Global object for your frontend application

Simply create an object extending DefaultFrontendGlobal. That will provide you with the common filters and error handling. You can also override frontendFilters attribute if you need to alter the default set of filters.

Note: the play SecurityHeadersFilter is not provided by default. To enable it add 'security.headers.filter.enabled=true' in your application's configuration file (application.conf)

Default Play configuration

This library provides a default configuration for your Play frontend applications. Use it in your application's configuration file (application.conf):

include "common.conf"

Metrics plugin

To enable the Metrics plugin in your application, add this line to your play.plugins file:

1:com.kenshoo.play.metrics.MetricsPlugin

You can also enable the plugin's admin servlet by adding this line to your routes file:

GET     /admin/metrics          com.kenshoo.play.metrics.MetricsController.metrics

Publishing metrics to Graphite

By default Graphite publishing is disabled. To enable if for your application, add a block like this to your application conf file:

microservice {

  metrics {
   graphite {
     host = graphite
     port = 2003
     prefix = play.tax.
     enabled = true
   }
  }

}

and point your Global object (inherited from DefaultFrontendGlobal ) to it

override def microserviceMetricsConfig(implicit app: Application): Option[Configuration] = app.configuration.getConfig("microservice.metrics")

Installing

Add the following to your SBT build:

resolvers += Resolver.bintrayRepo("hmrc", "releases")

libraryDependencies += "uk.gov.hmrc" % "frontend-bootstrap" % "[INSERT-VERSION]"
