MerbStaticPagesSlice

Write static content using the markdown format and serve easily in your app. This slice was extracted/inspired by the work I did on the Merb Book

To be able to use this slice, you need to do 2 things:

1. mount the slice in your router

2. indicate to the slice where to find your static files

---

To mount the slice in your router, open your router.rb and add:

Merb::Router.prepare do
  slice(:merb_static_pages_slice, :path => "static")
end

To set the path to your static files, add the following line in your init.rb (inside the before_app_loads block)

Merb::BootLoader.before_app_loads do
  ::MerbStaticPagesSlice.push_path(:pages, Merb.root / 'app' / 'pages', "**/*.markdown")
end

That's it, now put your static file in your path and enjoy :)
