Create a generator

[gdurelle]

Create a simple generator with basics configurations, default ones commented.

cuba new <projectName>

Creates:

• A config.ru
• The main cuba file with
  • 1 method and its route to show the simple text renderer.
  • 1 method, its view and route to show the view renderer.

That's it.

It keeps it small and speed up the dev process when using cuba for most use cases.

Seems cool but would add dependencies to mote and clap into cuba.
I'd prefer one in pure ruby like:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

def cuba_setup
  <<-EOF
    class #{ARGV[1].capitalize}
        # a lot more stuff...
    end
  EOF
end

if ARGV.length == 2 && ARGV[0] == 'new'
  File.open("#{ARGV[1]}.rb", 'w+') do |file|
    file.write cuba_setup
  end
else
  puts "cuba new <projectName>"
end

Can I make a Pull request with something like that ? (with the class filed with classic cuba setup)

Hey @gdurelle, indeed I would like to encourage you to build that tool, but as Cuba is just a library, I think it's better if it remains just that, without any code generators. But what you want could be a good and useful tool for a lot of people, and the naming could be some play with the Cuba/Rum theme. Then we could promote it independently.

[gdurelle]

I'll do that then !

Excellent. A long time ago, in 2009, @djanowski and I wrote a similar tool for creating Sinatra apps, it was called monk, and I wouldn't write it like that today, but I'm linking to it just in case you find something interesting in those ideas :-)

My first gem ! :)
(Still have to write tests & think about Thor, but it works ;))
