This is a collection of rails application templates that are designed to get a rails application with datamapper up and running quickly. Currently, these templates are only compatible with rails3.
If you have rails3 installed on your system, creating a datamapper app on rails3 is as easy as issuing one command.
rails dm_rails3_app -m http://github.com/snusnu/rails-templates/raw/master/dm_rails_master.rb
If you don’t have rails3 installed, the following should get you going.
gem update --system # We need rubygems-1.3.6 for the command below to work gem install rails --pre
That’s it. Have fun!
Currently, rspec-rails isn’t yet fully compatible with rails3 and not yet completely ORM agnostic. Preliminary support is available though.
The project includes a Gemfile that contains one single line of code:
gem 'sinatra', '~> 1.0a', :git => 'git://github.com/sinatra/sinatra.git'
This enables a complete development environment on top pf sinatra simply by running
bundle install bundle exec ruby dev_server.rb
Once the dev server is running, use al local URL when testing the app generation. All files in the project directory are served by sinatra.
rails dm_rails3_app -m http://localhost:4567/dm_rails_master.rb
The sinatra service simply replaces the github URLs with local ones, thus allowing to test the application template without constantly pushing fixes to github. This got annoying.
-
Fork the project.
-
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
-
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
-
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
-
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
