A simple application showing some capabilities of Ruby and Sinatra as a web framework. Follow the tags to see it progress from Hello World, to something a bit more advanced.

Set Up

Let's clone the project

git clone [e-mail]:aforward/samplesinatra.git

Or

git clone https://github.com/aforward/samplesinatra.git

Next you will need ruby. Check out the many ways to install ruby

Check out setup.sh for the other things that the project will install before getting going (namely bundler and then installing dependent gems in the Gemfile)

./setup.sh

Run

You can start your server by running

./server.sh

Inside we are just running the default sinatra web server via bundler; not ideal for production; but this project is more about the framework and less about deployment.

In the startup logs, you will see where things are running, similar to

[2017-01-18 12:30:00] INFO  WEBrick 1.3.1
[2017-01-18 12:30:00] INFO  ruby 2.4.0 (2016-12-24) [x86_64-darwin16]
== Sinatra (v2.0.0.beta2) has taken the stage on 4567 for development with backup from WEBrick
[2017-01-18 12:30:00] INFO  WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=31660 port=4567

We should now be able to see our web app in the browser at

http://localhost:4567
