Introducing The AxonIQ Initializr

Author: Ben Runchey

Sometimes the hardest part of any project is getting started. Tasks such as creating the structure for various project artefacts, creating a build file, determining maven coordinates, and picking the right dependency versions can be boring and repetitive. Initializers like the Spring Initializr aim to remove much of this toil so you can focus on your coding.

If you wish to include additional dependencies, just click on the blue ‘plus’ icon in the upper right corner. This brings up the search dialog allowing you to find and select many other common dependencies such as Actuator, Lombok, or DevTools. To download your new project, simply click the blue ‘Download’ button at the bottom of the screen. Extract the project from the zip file, open the project in your IDE, and begin adding your Axon code!

In addition to the web browser interface, you can also access the AxonIQ Initializr from a command-line app such as curl, or within your favorite IDE such as IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse. By way of an example, a simple application can be generated from curl using the following command:

We built the Axon Initializr for you ‒ our fabulous community ‒ to make getting started with Axon easier, faster, and less bothersome than before. We want to know what you think about it, what you would like to see added to it, and of course, your contributions to speed up development and add cool new features.
