Micronaut Starter

Generates Micronaut applications

Version: 4.7.2

1 Introduction

This project implements a project generator for Micronaut as is both a Command Line (CLI) application and an API that can be run as an HTTP server, deployed to a Servlet container or executed on a Serverless platform (Google Cloud Run, Google Cloud Function, AWS Lambda or Azure Function).

2 AWS CDK

Micronaut CDK modules simplify the creation of Lambda functions with Amazon Cloud Development Kit (CDK).

2.1 MicronautFunctionFile

MicronautFunctionFile has a fluid API to ease generating the file name of the asset.

MicronautFunctionFile.builder()
        .buildTool(BuildTool.GRADLE)
        .archiveBaseName("app")
        .graalVMNative()
        .version("0.1")
        .build();

2.2 MicronautFunction

MicronautFunction eases the selection of the correct environment and sets the handler automatically.

boolean graalVMNative = false;
Function appFunction = MicronautFunction.create(ApplicationType.DEFAULT, graalVMNative, this, id)
        .architecture(Architecture.X86_64)
        .timeout(Duration.seconds(10))
        .memorySize(512)
        .tracing(Tracing.ACTIVE)
        .code(Code.fromAsset("../app/build/libs/" + MicronautFunctionFile.builder()
                .buildTool(BuildTool.MAVEN)
                .archiveBaseName("app")
                .version("0.1")
                .build()))
        .build();

If you use ApplicationType.FUNCTION you have to provide your handler.

Function.Builder builder = MicronautFunction.create(ApplicationType.FUNCTION, false, this, id)
        .handler("com.example.Handler");

3 Installation

3.1 Install with SDKMAN!

The best way to install Micronaut on Unix systems is with SDKMAN! which greatly simplifies installing and managing multiple Micronaut versions.

Before updating make sure you have the latest version of SDKMAN! installed. If not, run

$ sdk update

In order to install Micronaut, run following command:

$ sdk install micronaut

You can also specify the version to the sdk install command.

$ sdk install micronaut {project-version}

You can find more information about SDKMAN! usage on the SDKMAN! Docs

You should now be able to run the Micronaut CLI.

$ mn
| Starting interactive mode...
| Enter a command name to run. Use TAB for completion:
mn>

3.2 Install with Homebrew

In order to install Micronaut, run following command:

$ brew install --cask micronaut-projects/tap/micronaut

You can find more information about Homebrew usage on their homepage.

You should now be able to run the Micronaut CLI.

On macOS, you may get a warning message saying that “mn” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.. To resolve it, click the Apple menu, and select System Settings. Then browse to Privacy & Security, and scroll down to the Security section. There should be a warning that "mn" was blocked, with an Allow Anyway button. Clicking this button will fix the issue.

See the Homebrew documentation for more details about this.

$ mn
| Starting interactive mode...
| Enter a command name to run. Use TAB for completion:
mn>

3.3 Install with MacPorts

Before installing, it is recommended to sync the latest Portfiles.

$ sudo port sync

In order to install Micronaut, run following command:

$ sudo port install micronaut

You can find more information about MacPorts usage on their homepage.

You should now be able to run the Micronaut CLI.

$ mn
| Starting interactive mode...
| Enter a command name to run. Use TAB for completion:
mn>

3.4 Install with Chocolatey

If using Windows, you can use Chocolatey to install the Micronaut CLI:

$ choco install micronaut

Check the micronaut package page for more information.

You should now be able to run the Micronaut CLI from the command prompt or Powershell by running mn:

$ mn
| Starting interactive mode...
| Enter a command name to run. Use TAB for completion:
mn>

3.5 Install through Binary on Windows

  • Download the latest binary from Micronaut Website

  • Extract the binary to appropriate location (For example: C:\micronaut)

  • Create an environment variable MICRONAUT_HOME which points to the installation directory i.e. C:\micronaut

  • Update the PATH environment variable, append %MICRONAUT_HOME%\bin.

You should now be able to run the Micronaut CLI from the command prompt as follows:

$ mn
| Starting interactive mode...
| Enter a command name to run. Use TAB for completion:
mn>

3.6 Build & Install from Source

Clone the repository as follows:

$ git clone https://github.com/micronaut-projects/micronaut-starter.git

cd into the micronaut-starter directory and run the following command:

$ ./gradlew micronaut-cli:assembleDist

This will create a zip distribution of the CLI (named with the current version) in the starter-cli/build/distributions/ folder.

You’ll need to unzip this somewhere convenient. For example, to unzip it to a dot directory in your user home, you could do:

$ mkdir ~/.micronaut
$ unzip starter-cli/build/distributions/micronaut-cli-VERSION.zip -d ~/.micronaut

In your shell profile (~/.bash_profile if you are using the Bash shell), export the MICRONAUT_HOME directory (wherever you unzipped it to) and add the CLI path to your PATH:

bash_profile/.bashrc
export MICRONAUT_HOME=~/path/to/unzipped/cli
export PATH="$PATH:$MICRONAUT_HOME/bin"
If you’re using SDKMAN! and don’t want to mess with your $MICRONAUT_HOME, you can also point SDKMAN! to your local installation for dev purposes by using sdk install micronaut dev path/to/unzipped/cli

Reload your terminal or source your shell profile with source:

$ source ~/.bash_profile

You are now able to run the Micronaut CLI.

$ mn
| Starting interactive mode...
| Enter a command name to run. Use TAB for completion:
mn>

https://micronaut-starter-staging-ucxwqnh6ka-uc.a.run.app/swagger/views/swagger-ui/index.html

Deploying the Application

To build and deploy the project yourself install set up the Google Cloud CLI then from the project root build the docker image and push it to Google Container Registry:

$ docker build . -t micronaut-starter -f DockerfileCloudRun
$ docker tag micronaut-starter gcr.io/[PROJECT ID]/micronaut-starter
$ docker push gcr.io/[PROJECT ID]/micronaut-starter

You are now ready to deploy your application:

$ gcloud beta run deploy --image gcr.io/[PROJECT ID]/micronaut-starter

Where [PROJECT ID] is replaced for your project ID. You should see output like the following:

Service name: (micronaut-starter):
Deploying container to Cloud Run service [micronaut-starter] in project [PROJECT_ID] region [us-central1]

✓ Deploying... Done.
  ✓ Creating Revision...
  ✓ Routing traffic...
Done.
Service [micronaut-starter] revision [micronaut-starter-00004] has been deployed and is serving traffic at https://micronaut-starter-xxxxxxx-uc.a.run.app

7 Community Features

Community Features

Micronaut Launch includes Community Features such as those from Agorapulse, Camunda, and JobRunr.

A feature that adds a Micronaut library which the Micronaut Foundation does not maintain is considered a Community Feature. In the event that Micronaut Foundation assumes responsibility for a Community Feature, it could potentially become an official Micronaut Launch feature instead.
