WEB DEVELOPMENT USING LIFT


Lift Web Framework

Components

  1. LiftCore: This is the web processor of the framework which handles the following functions.
    1. Request/Response
    2. Rendering Pipeline
    3. Invoking User Functions
  2. LiftRules : Lift Configuration
  3. LiftSession: Inherent Session State.
  4. S: stateful context for request/response lifecycle.
  5. SiteMap: contains web pages for the lift application.
  6. SHtml: helper functions for XHtml.
  7. Views: Views as XML content. Allows composing views from not only html files but other contexts too.
  8. LiftResponse: Abstraction of response sent to the client.
  9. Comet: allows sending asynchronous content to browser.
  10. ORM: A specialized library.
  11. HTTP Auth: provides control over authentication model.
  12. JS API: JavaScript abstraction layer.


Getting Started

Set Up on Eclipse :

  1. Download “Scala IDE for Eclipse” : http://scala-ide.org/
  2. Install plugin in Eclipse from this update site : http://download.scala-ide.org/sdk/helium/e38/scala211/stable/site
  3. Once the plugin is installed restart Eclipse
  4. Install sbteclipse by adding the following to projects/plugins.sbt in your Lift Project: addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbteclipse" % "sbteclipse-plugin" % "2.5.0")
  5. You can then create Eclipse project files (.project and .classpath) by entering the following into the SBT prompt: eclipse


Basic Web Application Structure

Step 1: Making a SiteMap entry

Every page on the site needs a SiteMap entry.

// Build SiteMap def sitemap(): SiteMap = SiteMap( 

 Menu("Home") / "index",
 Menu("Second Page") / "second"

)
