sinatra-base

Base Sinatra app layout for use in ruby, or jruby with dependency-free JAR compilation.

General:

Sinatra is great for quick and small web apps, and even better if you want to have users run the app on their own workstation under Java.
Use this project to get up and running quickly with:

• Basic ruby sinatra directory layout
• Rack configuration file and puma web server
• Jar compliation with warbler
• Twitter bootstrap 3 styling
• Simple view layout with erb templates

Setup:

Grab the sources

$ git clone ...... your-app-name

Modify rvm/rbenv configuration

1. Edit .ruby-version file with either straight ruby version or leave as jruby version if stand alone JAR compilation is required.
2. Edit .ruby-gemset with your-app-name for an isolated gemset.
3. Optionally, edit the ruby version and engine type in the top line of the Gemfile

Install dependancies

$ cd your-app-name
$ gem install bundler
$ bundle

Development:

Start web server

rake run # (OS X only)
rackup (All platforms)

Deployment (for running under the JVM):

Build the jar

$ rake build

Copy files

Copy the your-app-name.jar and config.ru files to a directory of their own

Start up

$ cd /path/you/created 
$ java -jar your-app-name.jar
