DESCRIPTION:

A Sinatra plugin to provide convenience whilst performing asynchronous responses inside of the Sinatra framework running under the Thin webserver.

A quick example:

 require 'sinatra/async'

 class AsyncTest < Sinatra::Base
   register Sinatra::Async

   aget '/' do
     body "hello async"
   end

   aget '/delay/:n' do |n|
     EM.add_timer(n.to_i) { body { "delayed for #{n} seconds" } }
   end

 end

See Sinatra::Async for more details.
