Senchatra is a simple Sinatra application that takes some of the drudge work out of working with Sencha Touch. It provides these conveniences:

• contents of .html files in the templates directory are inserted into the index.html file, wrapped in a <textarea> tag with display:none;.
• <script> tags are auto-generated for all .js files in the public/app directory.

Setup

If you are on a mac and have terminitor installed, just cd to this project directory, and run the following:

terminitor setup
terminitor start

The terminitor setup command runs:

bundle install

And terminitor start will open a couple of tabs, launching the Sinatra server at http://localhost:4567/, and watching the theming/senchatra.scss file for changes, which will be automatically compiled to public/stylesheets/senchatra.css. This is equivalent to the following:

# Open a new tab and run:
ruby application.rb

# Open another new tab and run:
cd theming
compass watch

Deploying to heroku

Create a heroku app by running:

gem install heroku
heroku create name-of-your-app

Then you can deploy your Sencha Touch app to Heroku by running:

git push heroku master

The output from that command will show you the URL where your app lives.
