Sinatra Application Template¶ ↑

A base Sinatra application template, just fork and build. It uses DataMapper and Haml by default, and includes RSpec, Cucumber, and Webrat for testing.

Getting Started¶ ↑

rake db:migrate
ruby application.rb

Configuration¶ ↑

Application requirements and configuration are found in application.rb.

Add your Sinatra routes to application.rb.

Database¶ ↑

This project uses DataMapper and sqlite3 by default. This is configured in application.rb:

configure :development do
  DataMapper.setup(:default, 'sqlite3:///' + File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__)) + '/development.db')
end

There is also a small sample model in lib/models/profile.rb, as well as rake tasks to migrate and upgrade the database.

Views¶ ↑

View templates are found by default in /views, and static files in /public. You can overwrite these by adding the following to application.rb:

set :views, File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/foo'
set :public, File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/bar'

Testing¶ ↑

The general test environment is setup in spec/spec_helper.rb.

Add your specs to spec, and require spec_helper.rb. A couple example specs are provided. To run them:

rake spec

Cucumber specific setup is done in features/support/env.rb (which includes spec_helper). To execute all cucumber features:

rake cucumber
