Want to build Web services in the Resource Oriented Architecture style? With resource_sinatra, success is all but guaranteed, provided that you are using a Sinatra + MongoMapper stack.
It might not be a bad idea to make sure you are running the latest RubyGems:
sudo gem update --system
You will need gemcutter if you don't have it already:
gem install gemcutter
gem tumble
I recommend a user-level install:
gem install djsun-resource_sinatra
Note: in general, beware of sudo gem install <project_name>
-- it gives elevated privileges. Do you trust <project name>
? Better to be safe and use a local install to ~/.gem
.
For a basic example of what this looks like when integrated into a real-world Sinatra app, see /examples/datacatalog
.
