A site generator that builds a minimal Sinatra app in very few commands. Developers are able to test any idea online efficiently.
The installization and configuration are extremely easy with the help of Rack & Sinatra. Check Sinatra if you don't know what it is.
$ gem install franky
Under the directory you want to create your project, run:
$ franky
which prompts a message to let you specify a directory name.
Or simply run:
$ franky new my_project
Replace "my_project" with your project name.
There are two templates: default template & minimal template. They can be specified in commands.
Add -m at the end if you want to create a minimal template. For example,
$ franky -m
or
$ franky new my_project -m
If nothing is specified, the template is set to default.
This template includes 3 parts:
1. Rack configuration
- Gemfile
- config.ru
2. The app
- app/app.rb
- app/views/layout.html.erb
- app/views/index.html.erb
3. Assets
- public/js/app.js
- public/css/style.css
It contains only 3 files:
- Gemfile
- app.rb
- config.ru
This is the minimal requirement for deployment. Check the following part if you want to deploy to Heroku.
After generation, enter the project, run $ bundle and you are all set. Use $ rackup or $ shotgun to run local server as usual. You should see "hello world" as you enter http://localhost:9292 (9393 with shotgun) if everything works fine.
$ rm -rf my_project will remove the entire project. Quick and clean.
For the simplest deployment, check Heroku for more information.
For a more powerful template generator, check hazel, which contains configuration on test, db, ruby version, git, and more.
