Twirl Maven Plugin

A Maven plugin which compiles Twirl templates into Scala source files.

Twirl lets you write type-safe, compiled templates in Scala:

// Hello.scala.html
@(name: String)
<h1>Hello, @name!</h1>

which you then render in code:

html.Hello.render("Jake")

to yield the final result:

<h1>Hello, Jake!</h1>

Usage

Add the plugin in your pom.xml:

<plugin>
  <groupId>com.jakewharton.twirl</groupId>
  <artifactId>twirl-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.2.0</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <phase>generate-sources</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>compile</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

and specify a dependency on the Twirl API:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.typesafe.play</groupId>
  <artifactId>twirl-api_2.12</artifactId>
  <version>1.4.1</version>
</dependency>

By default the plugin looks for templates in src/main/twirl/ and compiles to target/generated-sources/twirl/. The output folder is automatically added as a source root on the project.

The generated code is a Scala source file for each template which still need to be compiled using something like the scala-maven-plugin.

Snapshots of the development version are available in Sonatype's snapshots repository.
