Sinatra example

[andrew]

I can't seem to get rabl to work with sinatra, can you provide an example, perhaps in the wiki?

[nesquena]

What issues are you running into? Require rabl in the gemfile and then do:

get "/" do
  render :rabl, :foo
end

should work. I agree though having it in the wiki is a good idea.

I'm getting an exception:

NoMethodError - undefined method `present?' for "collection @experiments\nattributes :name":String:

Seems like Rabl doesn't properly depend on ActiveSupport.

[nesquena]

Ah yes that is correct. I was using RABL with AR or DM (and Padrino or Rails) so ActiveSupport was already included. I will add active_support proper to the gemspec, or evaluate if I can remove it from core use and only require it for inflection handling.

[nesquena]

Will put up an example for setting up in a sinatra app on the wiki soon. Should help clear this up.

Added Sinatra example here (working for me): https://github.com/nesquena/rabl/wiki/Setup-for-Sinatra

[andrew]

Awesome, thanks.

[bshanks]

perhaps the documentation at https://github.com/nesquena/rabl could be modified to refer to https://github.com/nesquena/rabl/wiki/Setup-for-Sinatra ? Following https://github.com/nesquena/rabl, I had tried to do something like

render "posts/index"

which i guess is appropriate for Padrino but not Sinatra.

thanks
