Controllers

Run a single controller app:

class App < E
  # ...
end

App.run

# or
app = App.mount do
  # some setup
end
app.run

# or create a new app and mount controller
app = E.new
app.mount App do
  # some setup
end
app.run

Controllers can be also mounted by using Regexps:

app = E.new
app.mount /SomeController/
# etc.
app.run

Slices

Slices are used to bundle, setup and run a set of controllers.

A Espresso Slice is nothing more than a Ruby Module.

That's it, to create a slice simply wrap your controllers into a module:

require 'e'
require 'e-ext' # needed for Forum.run and Forum.mount to work

module Forum
  class Users < E
    # ...
  end
  class Posts < E
    # ...
  end
end

Forum.run  # running Forum Slice directly

# creating a new app from Forum Slice
app = Forum.mount do 
  # some setup
end
app.run

# or create a new app and mount the slice
app = E.new
app.mount Forum do
  # some setup
end
app.run

Automount

By using automount you do not need to mount controllers manually.

To make newly created app to automount all found controllers, pass true as first argument:

app = E.new(true)

If you want to automount only controllers contained into some namespace, use that namespace as first argument:

module Frontend
  class Pages < E
    # ...
  end

  class News < E
    # ...
  end
end

module Admin
  class Pages < E
    # ...
  end

  class News < E
    # ...
  end
end
app = E.new(Frontend)

this will automount only controllers under Frontend module, leaving you to mount Admin controllers manually.

Namespace can also be provided as a regular expression:

module Frontend
  class Pages < E
    # ...
  end

  class News < E
    # ...
  end
end

module Admin
  class Pages < E
    # ...
  end

  class News < E
    # ...
  end
end
app = E.new(/Pages/)

this will automount Frontend::Pages and Admin::Pages

If you need some controller(s) to not be automounted, use reject_automount! method inside controller class:

class Pages < E
  # ...
end

class News < E
  reject_automount!
  # ...
end

app = E.new(true)

this will automount Pages controller but not News

Mount Root

To mount a controller/slice into a specific root, pass it as a String:

module Forum
  class Users < E
    # ...
  end
  class Posts < E
    # ...
  end
end

app = Forum.mount('/forum')
app.run

# or
app = E.new
app.mount(Forum, '/forum')
app.run

Arbitrary Applications

Espresso allow to mount any Rack-compatible application same way as usual controllers/slices mounted.

Example: mount SomeSinatraApp into "/"

E.new do
  mount SomeSinatraApp
end

Example: mount SomeSinatraApp into "/blog"

E.new do
  mount SomeSinatraApp, "/blog"
end

By default, mounted applications will respond to any request method.

To make it respond only to some request method(s), use :on option:

Example: make SomeSinatraApp to respond only to specific requests

E.new do
  mount SomeSinatraApp, on: :get
  # or
  mount SomeSinatraApp, on: [:get, :post]
  # or
  mount SomeSinatraApp, request_method: :get
  # or
  mount SomeSinatraApp, request_methods: [:get, :post]
end

Worth to note that mounted applications will honor host politics:

Example: SomeSinatraApp will respond only to requests originating on default host and site.com

E.new do
  map host: 'site.com'
  mount SomeSinatraApp
end

Run

By default Espresso will run WEBrick server on 5252 port.

To run another server/port, use :server/:port options.

If given server requires some options, pass them next to :server option.

Example: Use Thin server on its default port

app.run :server => :Thin

Example: Use EventedMongrel server with custom options

app.run :server => :EventedMongrel, :port => 9090, :num_processors => 100

config.ru

Running a single controller:

require 'your-app-file(s)'

run MyController

Running a Slice:

require 'your-app-file(s)'

run MySlice

Running an app instance:

require 'your-app-file(s)'

app = MyController.mount

# or create a new Espresso application using `E.new`
app = E.new :automount  # will auto-discover all available controllers

run app
