Quick App to demonstrate using different Apps within a Sinatra App.

SETUP $ gem install bundler $ bundle install --path vendor $ rake run

NOTES

• Shared Models reside in models/

• Different sinatra apps reside in app/. They all subclass MyApp::Base

• Different views for each app reside in views/#{app_name}

• Shared libraries reside in lib/

• lib/helpers.rb contains sinatra helpers that can be loaded into only the particular apps that need them

• Config.ru maps the app to the path (eg: /admin => AdminApp)

INTERESTING

Here are some things that you might find interesting.

• Rakefile Helpers to use rake to start, stop, etc...

  Racksh is a nice script/console alternative. You can also test your app with it (eg: $rack.get('/'))

  If you have relay (gem install relay) installed and your .ssh/config file setup there is a simple capistrano replacement for deploying your app. Check out the deploy namespace.

• app/admin.rb Check out the 'get %r{^/(\w+)$} do'. That can serve erb files that exist in the static views directory. Easy way to generate views without creating a route.

• lib/helpers.rb Check out the different helpers. Some are stolen like throw_content and content_for. Some are merb-ish such as the concepts in SinatraApiHelperMethods.

• lib/configurator.rb This is used for a global settings. See the yaml file in config/settings.yml. It gives you dot-notation on the yml file based on the RACK_ENV you are in.

  eg: RACK_ENV=development rake app:shell

  config/settings.yml

  development: <<: *defaults monkey: name: Bob age: 3 dog: false

  Settings = Configurator.load('config/settings.yml') Settings.monkey # {"name"=>"Bob", "age"=>3} Settings.monkey.name # Bob Settings.monkey.age # 3 Settings.dog # false
