-DESCRIPTION:
A Template To Show Ruby Sinatra Functionality And Get You Quickly Started on a Project
This project was made to save time in learning Sinatra by seeing some examples and having a template to work from. This is not a replacement for reading the Sinatra or other gem documentation but to help provide examples and a structure.
The code covers usages of DataMapper an Object Relational Mapper written in Ruby using MySQL with a foreign key relationship. Also user signup, signin, password reset, session handling. For design the code shows usage of url routing, views, partial views, layouts, error handling, flash messaging. Also included is samples of emailing data, and there is a basic Unicorn web server configuration. Everything is laid out with a MVC structure. Hope this helps!
