Simple

Simple web development framework for Ruby.

Installation

Notes: Simple is very new and still under development. Feel free to create ticket and report about bug or improvement or addition.

put this line in your Gemfile

gem "simple"

or install with gem command line

gem install bundler

Features

• Barebone Framework; Simple doesn't ship with dependencies like Tilt, Helpers, etc. You can build your own stack for your application.
• Built on top of Rack and http_router
• Insanely small ruby web framework - < 100 LC
• Blazingly fast benchmark
• Inspired by Sinatra
• Works with Thin, Unicorn, Pow, Heroku
• sinatra-like DSL (get, post, put, and delete)

Basic Usage

The little snippet of the famous hello world web application.

# config.ru

require 'simple'
  	
class Example < Simple::Base

  # GET /
  get "/" do
    [200, {"Content-Type" => "text/plain"}, ["Hello World"]]
  end

  # POST /
  post "/" do
    "Posted!"
  end

  # GET /hello
  get "/:message" do
    "You said: #{params[:message]}"
  end

  # POST /users
  post "/users" do
    render :index
  end

  # GET /api/v1/users
  namespace :api do
    namespace :v1 do
      get "/users" do
        halt "Not found", 404
      end
    end
  end

  # render :index
  def self.render(template)
    # Tilt code here or any template engines
  end

  # halt "Access denied!"
  def self.halt(message, status=403)
   [status, {"Content-Type" => "text/plain"}, [message]
  end

end
  
run Example

This would create a Rack application. Run the application with rackup or thin or unicorn command line.
