Getting Started

Project setup

Baker is released to maven central.

You can add following dependencies to your maven or sbt project to start using it:

dependencies += "com.ing.baker" %% "baker-recipe-dsl" % "3.0.0"
dependencies += "com.ing.baker" %% "baker-compiler" % "3.0.0"
dependencies += "com.ing.baker" %% "baker-runtime" % "3.0.0"

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.ing.baker</groupId>
   <artifactId>baker-recipe-dsl_2.12</artifactId>
   <version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
   <groupId>com.ing.baker</groupId>
   <artifactId>baker-compiler_2.12</artifactId>
   <version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
   <groupId>com.ing.baker</groupId>
   <artifactId>baker-runtime_2.12</artifactId>
   <version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>

This includes ALL baker modules to your project. If you only need partial functionality you can pick and choose the modules you need.

Modules

An explanation of the baker modules.

Module	Description
recipe-dsl	DSL to describe your recipes (process blueprints) declaritively
runtime	Runtime based on akka to manage and execute your recipes
compiler	Compiles your recipe description into a model that the runtime can execute
intermediate-language	Recipe and Petri Net model that the runtime can execute

This is the dependency graph between the modules.

Continuing from here

After adding the dependencies you can continue to:

1. Understand the high level concepts.
2. If you like learning by doing, go through the development life cycle section.
3. If you like learning by description, go through the reference section.
