Ditty
Ditty provides an extra layer of functionality on top of Sinatra to give structure and basic tools to an already great framework. You can get a new application, with user authentication and basic CRUD / REST interfaces, up and running in minutes.
Installation
Add these lines to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'ditty'
gem 'sqlite3'
You can replace sqlite3
with a DB adapter of your choice.
And then execute:
bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
gem install ditty
Usage
- Add the components to your rack config file. See the included
config.ru
file for an example setup - Add the Ditty rake tasks to your Rakefile:
require 'ditty/rake_tasks'
- Set the DB connection as the
DATABASE_URL
ENV variable:DATABASE_URL=sqlite://development.db
- Create and populate the DB and secret tokens:
bundle exec rake proxes:prep
bundle exec rake proxes:generate_tokens
bundle exec rake proxes:migrate
bundle exec rake proxes:seed
- Start up the web app:
bundle exec rackup
Components
The application can now be further extended by creating components.
Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec
to run the tests. You can also run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb
, and then run bundle exec rake release
, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.
