Vert.x examples

Vert.x 4 examples

This repository contains a range of examples so you can get up and running easily with Vert.x. 4

Vert.x 3 examples can be found here https://github.com/vert-x3/vertx-examples/tree/3.x

The examples

The examples demonstrate how to use all different bits of Vert.x including Vert.x core, Vert.x-Web and various other services and features.

Most of the examples have been written as verticles. For more information on verticles please consult the Vert.x core manual.

Using verticles allows you to scale and run your code from the command line more easily, but if you prefer the same code in the verticles can also be run embedded. It’s really up to you. Verticles are entirely optional in Vert.x.

Running the examples

Running in your IDE

Most of the Java examples can be run directly in your IDE (if you have one!).

We provide a main() method in most of the example classes which allows you to conveniently run them directly in your IDE.

Just right click the main method or class in your IDE and run as…​ application (supported by all major IDEs).

Running at the command line

If vertx is installed you can also run any verticle directly on the command line. This way of working may be of interest to you, if you don’t want to use Maven or Gradle or perhaps you don’t use an IDE.

Or perhaps you’re just a command line kind of person.

If you’re coming from using other platforms such as Node.js you might want to work this way. You can think of the vertx command as a bit like the node command in Node.js.

Instructions for installing Vert.x are in the next section.

Once Vert.x is installed, to run an example, just cd to the example directory and type vertx run followed by the filename of the verticle. For example

cd core-examples/src/main/java/io/vertx/example/core
vertx run EchoServer.java

cd core-examples/src/main/js/echo
vertx run echo_server.js

Yes! You can run Java source files directly using Vert.x (no compilation required).

Installing Vert.x

Note	This is only necessary if you want to run Vert.x at the command line. If you’d prefer to work with Maven or Gradle projects then you don’t need to pre-install Vert.x - you just let Maven/Gradle pull in the Vert.x dependencies into your project as you would with any dependency.

Pre-requisites: You will need to have Java 8 JDK installed.

1. Download a Vert.x 3 distribution

2. Unzip it somewhere on your disk (e.g. in your home directory)

3. Set your PATH environment variable to include the installation directory

4. Test the install by typing vertx -version.

On the download page, you will find several distributions. Each distribution has a different set of components:

• Min: The min distribution contains only Vert.x Core, the support of the different languages, and the Hazelcast clustering.

• Full: The full distribution contains all the components of the Vert.x stack. It includes Vert.x web and the different data access technologies.

The Vert.x gRPC Examples show how you can implement a gRPC service and invoke a gRPC service with Vert.x.

Kotlin examples

The Vert.x Kotlin Examples shows a few examples with Kotlin such a REST application, Kotlin coroutines and usage of KotlinTest.

Mail examples

The Vert.x Mail examples contains a few examples using Vert.x Mail

The mail examples show different ways to create the mail message and send it via tls, ssl etc. The examples either use localhost:25 to send a mail or use host mail.example.com. To actually run the examples you will have to change the mail server and the user credentials in the MailLogin example.
