PlayBox

This is a skeleton for Web UI experiments. It uses Sinatra to compile CoffeeScript and SCSS on the fly.

Setup

1. Get Ruby, Rubygems, and bundler. sudo apt-get install ruby-full sudo gem update --system sudo gem install bundler

2. Install all the required gems. bundle install

3. Start up the web server. bundle exec shotgun config.ru nohup bundle exec unicorn config.ru > web.log &

4. Go to http://localhost:9393 and play.

Experiment

CoffeeScript files go in the javascripts/ directory and are automatically merged into one big file, so you don't need to worry about exporting your classes.

SCSS files go into the stylesheets/ directory, and must be @imported in stylesheets/application.scss. CSS is sensitive to the order of the rules, so you're in control of that.

The main page is in views/welcome.erb. The server-side code is in app.rb.
