Introduction to Play-Framework modules
Play framework inherently support modularization. In other words we can develop play modules and reuse them in different play applications. This article provides a good guide on how to do that. But that is little bit outdated for latest Play distributions. I will describe the changes which is needed to be done to create a play module on latest play versions. Playframework no longer has a play console. Instead of that it uses Typesafe activator. So you need to download activator and add activator to your environment path. You can create boilerplate code for a play app using the template called Just play java. In my case I needed to create a authentication module. So I created a Play action called auth in controllers package. Then to publish the module go the project directory and issue clean command. Then issue publish-local command. If it is successful you will get a output like this. [info] published ivy to /home/prabhath/.ivy2/local/authmodule/authmodule_2.10/1.0-SNAPSHOT/ivy
