Smithy and Playframework

[jona7o]

Hi,

thanks for the great work on smithy4s. Awesome!
We thought that it is a great opportunity for us to build another abstraction layer for the playframework as we used it in a lot of projects even when there are some difficulties regarding the akka licensing right now.

Based on smithy4s we created smithy4play. With smithy4play you can generate everything you need for the routing and for your test scenarios. With the API-first approach it can replace the classical routes.conf file and the default routing without writing much boilerplate code. In the next days we will also add a minimal example and write a blog post on meidum.

Please feel free to give us feedback or ideas for the package. If "pekko" gets an apache project we will also release a smithy4pekko project for "pekko-http" (akka-http).

Hah, happy to see some people are taking it on :)

Internally, at work, we actually have akka-http and play integration, we haven't released them to avoid increasing the (already high) maintenance burden inherent to open-source software. It makes me really happy that other people/orgs are taking enough of an interest in smithy4s to build third-party integrations 😄

It makes me all the happier that you guys didn't ask for help, as Smithy4s is not the easiest codebase to look at.

Kudos to you and your team !

@Baccata think we should add a link for this somewhere in the docs/FAQ?

Sure yeah
