Sinatra Application Template

A base Sinatra application template. Just fork and build. Yay! Includes CouchDB, RSpec, and Haml, all ready to go.

Configuration

Dependencies and all configuration is done in environment.rb. Your database (CouchDB) is also set up here. Databases for different environments will be created as needed; just set the connection string and make sure CouchDB is running.

Add your controller actions in application.rb. Views for these actions are placed in the views directory. Static files, including a stock stylesheet, go in the public directory. Models go in the lib directory and are auto-loaded.

Testing

Add your specs in spec; just require spec_helper.rb to pre-configure the test environment. A number of samples are provided (including a sample model, which can be removed). To run the specs:

  rake spec

Getting Started
