Sinatra and friends

Ratpack is now Mako

This is the project formerly known as ratpack (Sinatra and friends). Due to a name conflict, this is now called Mako.

Mako is a generator for creating new Sinatra apps with a few extras to get you started. Think of it as a very, very simple version of 'rails new'.

When you type 'mako projectname', Mako will generate a directory for you with a Sinatra class wired up to MongoDB, along with a layout file that includes Twitter's Bootstrap CSS template.

This is still fairly early, and subject to change. I'm going to be adding some more commands and likely some additional gems and helpers. The intent here is not to be like Rails, but just to provide a quick start when you want to create a new web application.

Installation

$ gem install mako

Usage

mako foo

This will output the following:

  create  foo
  create  foo/spec
  create  foo/models
  create  foo/config
  create  foo/public
  create  foo/public/404.html
  create  foo/public/images/apple-touch-icon-114x114.png
  create  foo/public/images/apple-touch-icon-72x72.png
  create  foo/public/images/apple-touch-icon.png
  create  foo/public/images/button-hover.svg
  create  foo/public/images/button.svg
  create  foo/public/images/favicon.ico
  create  foo/public/images/glyphicons-halflings-white.png
  create  foo/public/images/glyphicons-halflings.png
  create  foo/public/javascripts/app.js
  create  foo/public/javascripts/bootstrap.js
  create  foo/public/javascripts/bootstrap.min.js
  create  foo/public/javascripts/jquery.min.js
  create  foo/public/robots.txt
  create  foo/public/stylesheets/application.css
  create  foo/public/stylesheets/bootstrap-responsive.css
  create  foo/public/stylesheets/bootstrap-responsive.min.css
  create  foo/public/stylesheets/bootstrap.css
  create  foo/public/stylesheets/bootstrap.min.css
  create  foo/views
  create  foo/views/.gitignore
  create  foo/views/index.haml
  create  foo/views/layout.haml
  create  foo/views/static/404.haml
  create  foo/views/static/error.haml
  create  foo/Gemfile
  create  foo/.gitignore
  create  foo/config.ru
  create  foo/foo.rb

After that, you can cd into the directory, run 'bundle' and then 'rackup':

  bash-3.2$ cd foo
