BigBand

Sinatra::AdvancedRoutes is part of the BigBand stack. Check it out if you are looking for other fancy Sinatra extensions.

Example

require "sinatra"
require "sinatra/advanced_routes"

admin_route = get "/admin" do
  administrate_stuff
end

before do
  # Let's deactivate the route if we have no password file.
  if File.exists? "admin_password" then admin_route.activate
  else admin_route.deactivate 
  end
end

first_route = get "/:name" do
 # stuff
end

other_route = get "/foo_:name" do
  # other stuff
end

# Unfortunatly first_route will catch all the requests other_route would
# have gotten, since it has been defined first. But wait, we can fix this!
other_route.promote

Usage with Sinatra::Base

require "sinatra/base"
require "sinatra/advanced_routes"

  register Sinatra::AdvancedRoutes
end
