Gurk

A ruby microframework for the masses. You don't need a programming background all you need is the english language.

Perfect for designers or any developers that don't want to write code at all.

Installation

gem install gurk

Create a new gurk project by running

gurk new <appname>
cd <appname>

You should see a directory with the following structure

app/
  assets/
  views/
  views/layouts/application.html.erb
features/
public/
vendor/
Gemfile

Create a basic feature file with the following

Given I have a home page
And with the path "/"
And with the title "Home Page"
And with the layout "

More information and examples can be found at the Wiki.

Gurk supports Tilt. A template wrapper that gives you the flexibility to choose which

If you're using haml, just add the following in your Gemfile

gem 'haml'

Don't forget to run bundle install

For each page generated from the feature scenarios. We create an object that you can easily override. For this feature.

Given I have a home page
And with the path "/"
And with the title "Home Page"
And with the layout "

Add a file called app/home.rb

class HomePage include Gurk::Methods

 local :page_title, 'This is the new title' 
 local :header, 'The most awesome site ever'

 path '/homepage'

end

Ok fine, you don't want to use the features feature. You are free to do so by doing the following

Create a file called app/contact.rb

class ContactPage include Gurk::Methods

 name 'contact'
 local :title, "Contact Page"
 path '/contact'

end

Don't forget to create your view. For example: app/views/contact.html.erb

Then register it to Gurk in your app.rb file.

Gurk::Router.register ContactPage

Gurk supports tests! In fact we do sanity check per each request during development.
