Creating Levtus

Levtus have one single entry point: Levtus instance. In this section, you will learn how to create a new Levtus instance.

Creating a new Levtus Instance

You just need to create an entrance first:

Unnamed instance

Edit your Main.java to look like this:

import io.github.bernardusz.levtus.Levtus;

void main(){
    Levtus app = Levtus.create();

    app.get("/hello", ctx -> {
      ctx.text("Hello from Levtus Engine!");
    });

    app.listen(8080);
}

Named instance

Run the application using the Gradle application plugin:

import io.github.bernardusz.levtus.Levtus;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
      Levtus app = Levtus.create();

      app.get("/hello", ctx -> {
        ctx.text("Hello from Levtus Engine!");
      });

      app.listen(8080);
    }
}

You can set most of Levtus’ configuration via the app. But that is for later, feel free to explore, but for now, we’ll continue forward.
