🙋 Hey there!
Please note: This project is still in Alpha Version and we’re actively working on forking over a lot of nifty features from SwiftEngine to make it compatible with SwiftNIO. We appreciate any contributors or testers joining our project!
- Swift on Back-End - Improve productivity by using the modern Swift language for all your app's development needs (learn more)
- Hot Code Reload - Increase the speed of your endpoints as each file is individually compiled. If a file has not been modified since it was last used, it won't need to be recompiled (learn more)
- Automated Routing Logic - Avoid writing custom routers; SwiftEngine will automagically route each request to the desired file (learn more)
- Uptime Resiliency - Reduce risk by leveraging a fail-safe and high-availability operating environment where each client requests functions independently (learn more)
- Easy web based run-time error analysis - Save time by not having to dig through shell dumps; SwiftEngine displays the full error trace on your browser for easy debugging (learn more)
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.
What are the dependencies we need to get this to work?
| OS | Version |
|---|---|
| macOS | 10.13+ |
| Ubuntu | 14.04, 16.04, 16.10 |
- Clone this repo:
git clone https://github.com/swiftengine/SwiftEngine.git cdtoSwiftEnginedirectory and runsudo ./install.sh- Run
./run.shThis should start the server running and listening on port8887
Programming your site:
- Create a new
mypage.swiftfile within the/var/swiftengine/www/directory (see example below) - From the browser, enter the following url
http://<machine_ip>:8887/mypage(by default this islocalhost:8887)
That's it! No compilation or dealing with shell dumps required! Your requested endpoints will be automagically compiled during the first request, and results will be shown.
Any swift file you place in /var/swiftengine/www will be accessible through the browser without the .swift extension.

// Import SwiftEngine essentials
import SwiftEngine
// specify other required files for this file
//se: require /common.swift
// Entry Point function; where all code begins
func entryPoint(ctx: RequestContext) {
// add GET handlers to the request context
ctx.addHandler(forMethod:"GET", withRoute:"*"){
req, res in
res.write("Hello from SwiftEngine!")
}
// add POST handlers to the request context
ctx.addHandler(forMethod:"POST", withRoute:"*"){
req, res in
res.write("Handle for POST request method")
}
// add catch-all handlers to the request context
ctx.addHandler(forMethod:"*", withRoute:"*"){
req, res in
res.write("Handle for catch-all")
}
