A Sinatra/MongoDB API server to use for EmberJS development

Esapiserver

A very lightweight Sinatra/MongoDB CRUD API server to be used for EmberJS development and testing.

I started out using the fixture and local storage adapters in Ember, but experienced that the limitations that these adapters have, would turn out be a pain later when it was time to release my app - I wanted to make sure that what I test, was consistant with what I would release, hence the esapiserver.

Installation

Run:

Install the gem
	$ gem install esapiserver

Start up your mongoDB server   
	$ mongoD
	
Start the Ember Sinatra/MongoDB API server
	$ easapiserver
