Sinatra Application Template

A base Sinatra application template. Just fork and build. Yay! Includes DataMapper, RSpec, and Haml, all ready to go. Deployable to Heroku.

Configuration

Dependencies and all configuration and database is in environment.rb. DataMapper will use sqlite3 by default. Tests use the sqlite3-memory adapter (no configuration needed).

Add your controller actions in application.rb. Views for these actions are placed in the views directory. Static files, including a stock stylesheet, go in the public directory. Models go in the lib directory and are auto-loaded.

Testing

Add your specs in spec; just require spec_helper.rb to pre-configure the test environment. A number of samples are provided (including a sample model, which can be removed). To run the specs:

rake spec

Getting Started

$ rake db:migrate; ruby application.rb; open 'http://localhost:4567'

Spawning a site on heroku
