DESCRIPTION:

sinatra-gen generates a common file structure and basic app files for a web app utilizing the sinatra framework. For more information on sinatra, check out sinatrarb.com

!! NOW WITH SUPPORT FOR SINATRA 0.9 (02/10/09)

SYNOPSIS:

sinatra-gen has a bunch of different options (based loosley on merb-gen) to try to not lock the user into any specific frameworks/dev practices.

Run:

  sinatra-gen [appname] [actions] [options]

e.g.

  sinatra-gen mysinatrapp get:/ post:/:id --vendor --init --test=shoulda --views=haml

Actions

!! NEW as of 0.2.0 (12/23/08)

For even faster app development you specify actions to include in your app when generating. Actions are written out as

  http_method:path

And are seperated by spaces. For example:

  get:/ post:/:id put:/update/*

Will be added you your app as:

  get '/' do
  end

  post '/:id' do
  end

  put '/update/*' do
  end

It will also generate test skeletons in the test framework of your choosing.

Options

(can also be obtained by running sinatra-gen with no arguments):

        -v, --version                    Show the sinatra-gen version number and quit.
        -d, --vendor                     Extract the latest sinatra to vendor/sinatra
            --tiny                       Only create the minimal files.
            --init                       Initialize a git repository
            --cap                        Adds config directory with basic capistrano deploy.rb
            --scripts                    Install the rubigen scripts (script/generate, script/destroy)
            --git /path/to/git           Specify a different path for 'git'
            --test=test_framework        Specify your testing framework (unit (default)/rspec/spec/shoulda/bacon)
            --views=view_framework       Specify your view framework (erb (default)/haml/builder)

The —tiny option will create no directories. Just an app.rb, a Rakefile, and a config.ru (Rackup file)
