Getting Started

This chapter describes the most basic way of creating a running QuantumMaid instance.

Dependencies and compiler configuration

To run an application with the QuantumMaid framework, you need to add the following dependency to your project:

<dependency>
    <groupId>de.quantummaid.quantummaid.packagings</groupId>
    <artifactId>quantummaid-essentials</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.1</version>
</dependency>

Configuring an application

You can configure a QuantumMaid application like this:

final int port = 8080;
final QuantumMaid quantumMaid = QuantumMaid.quantumMaid()
        .get("/", (request, response) -> response.setBody("Hello World!"))
        .withLocalHostEndpointOnPort(port);
quantumMaid.runAsynchronously();

Start the application and navigate to to the url to see the response.

$ curl http://localhost:8080/helloworld
"hello world"
