002 Start Project

When To Use It

Use this flow when you want to bootstrap a fresh ApiHug project from IntelliJ instead of assembling the project structure by hand.

Steps

1. Open IntelliJ and choose File -> New -> Project.
2. Select ApiHug in the project wizard.
3. Fill in the base project information:
   • package
   • project name
   • description
4. Choose the SDK and runtime options you want to start with:
   • ApiHug version
   • database vendor
   • cache option
   • service port
5. Complete the Spring Boot wizard section just as you would in Spring Initializr:
   • choose the project type
   • add the required starter dependencies such as Spring Web
6. Click Create, then open the generated project.

What You Should See

The wizard will generate an ApiHug-ready project skeleton with the expected module layout, baseline build files, and starter runtime configuration.

Result

You finish with a runnable ApiHug project that is ready for proto design, wire generation, and plugin-assisted editing.
