Tarpaulin

The Lowdown

My small attempt to make the world a better place to live in. Tarpaulin is a set of utilities to use when you are Camping. Whenever I coded something that I felt could live in any Camping app rather than solely in the web app I'm developing (Poetify) I broke it out and placed it into Tarpaulin. I would have called it Bivouac but somebody beat me to it :) Here is a list of the things in Tarpaulin at the moment:

  • ClearSilver templating library integration with Tilt ... this should be pushed towards the Tilt project when I am sure it is robust
  • Rack-Flash integration to bring Camping to a par with Sinatra and vanilla Rack apps (contains a tiny monkey patch for Camping)
  • Before and after filters robbed from judofyr but stored here as it is just one file
  • a html5 #r403 and #r404 (should be many more) and #stylesheet_link_tag and #javascript_link_tag
  • a class called Endless that can work with a magic controller in your app to pattern match any length URL
  • a context class that helps give a bit of introspection to the call stack
  • a nifty logger that uses this context
  • File.here
