coenttb-com-server is the source code for coenttb.com, written entirely in Swift in the style of PointFree and powered by Vapor & coenttb-web.
Read more about me in my introductory post on coenttb.com.
- Built entirely in Swift: Approachable for newcomers and powerful for experts. It is fast, modern, safe, and a joy to write.
- Fully type safe: Every interaction, from request to response, is statically checked at compile time, ensuring runtime reliability and minimizing bugs.
- Hypermodular: Each module integrates only the parts that it needs.
Building in Swift for the web is worth it, but the ecosystem is not yet mature. By open-sourcing this project, I hope to:
- Show you how to structure a Swift website elegantly.
- Inspire you to try it for yourself.
- Get feedback to make the ecosystem even better.
- Clone the repo.
- Copy the
.env.examplefile and rename it.env.development. - Start a postgres server. Adjust the
DATABASE_URLvariable in your.env.developmentto whatever you name your server. If your server is calledexample-com-server-development, onport 5432, onlocalhost, with a database user namedadminthen the correct syntax ispostgres://admin:@localhost:5432/example-com-server-development. - If you want to see the Account system in action, you will need to setup Mailgun. Adjust the
MAILGUN_PRIVATE_API_KEYandMAILGUN_DOMAINvariables with your specific details. - Go to Xcode and run the
Serverexecutable target.
