#MiniRails MiniRails is an MVC framework web server inspired by Ruby on Rails.

#Features

• Renders content and handles redirects
• Protects against double rendering
• Deserializes, reads, and stores JSON cookie data including session data
• Router matches routes and handles bad requests
• Builds methods for GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE patterns.
• Calls HTTP methods with route information

#Using MiniRails Require the 'controller_base.rb' and 'router.rb' in your server code.

###Using the Controller

Extend the ControllerBase class adding a #go method which calls ControllerBase#render_content or ControllerBase#redirect_to. Example that renders hello page and redirects any request to the hello page:

class HelloController < ControllerBase
  def go
    if @req.path == "/hello"
      render_content("Hello, world!", "text/html")
    else
      redirect_to("/hello")
    end
  end
end

app = Proc.new do |env|
  req = Rack::Request.new(env)
  res = Rack::Response.new
  HelloController.new(req, res).go
  res.finish
end

Rack::Server.start(
  app: app,
  Port: 3000
)

###Using the Router

Pass in a pattern with path, controller, and controller method to the Router#draw method.

router = Router.new
router.draw do
  get Regexp.new("^/things$"), Things2Controller, :index
end

Call the Router#run(request, response) method passing Rack::Request and Rack::Response objects.

app = Proc.new do |env|
  req = Rack::Request.new(env)
  res = Rack::Response.new
  router.run(req, res)
  res.finish
end

Rack::Server.start(
 app: app,
 Port: 3000
)

#Planned Features

• ActiveRecord support for object-relational mapping.
• Flash implementation for data in current and next cycle of load
• Rack middleware for error handling with static assets
• Build automated CSRF protection
• PATCH and DELETE request handling
