Vapor - Swift Web Framework

15 Feb 2016

I’ve been keeping an eye out for projects looking to develop robust web frameworks in open source Swift.

A week or so ago I stumbled on the very promising Vapor - a Laravel inspired web framework written in Swift. Check it out and star the repo.

You can build a basic Vapor web app really easily using this installer I wrote over the weekend.

Download the binary from the repo, add it to your $PATH enter vapor new ProjectName at the command line (OSX or Linux) and there you have it - a blazingly fast Swift web app.

Happy coding.
