dorm, “The Delphi ORM” and Spring for Delphi Framework

"The Delphi ORM", Spring4D, dorm No Comments »

Great news for all the dorm and Spring4D users!

As you probably know, finally has been announced the official Spring framework for Delphi.

There is a lot of good technology in Spring4D!

So, I’m glad to announce that in a future version (hopefully, the next one) dorm, “The Delphi ORM” will use Spring4D and will become the ORM part of Spring4D.

So, dorm will be part of the Spring4D framework.

More info to come, so stay tuned.

This is the first “Hello World” for my Delphi MVC Web Framework.

  1.  
  2. program DelphiMVCWebFramework;
  3.  
  4. {$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
  5.  
  6. uses
  7.   System.SysUtils,
  8.   MVCEngine in 'MVCEngine.pas',
  9.   BaseController in 'BaseController.pas';
  10.  
  11. var
  12.   mvc: TWebMVCEngine;
  13. begin
  14.   mvc := TWebMVCEngine.Create;
  15.   mvc.AddRoute('/', procedure(Context: TWebContext)
  16.     begin
  17.       Context.Write('Hello World');
  18.     end).Start(8080);
  19.   ReadLn;
  20.   mvc.Free;
  21. end.
