Simple Web DSL built with rails

Sometimes rails feels over powering, luckily rails is quite modular. This gem provides sane defaults, with a simple, familiar and handy DSL

rails_mini is a single-file-rails-app project

Getting Started

Example

App = Rails.app do
  class PingController < ActionController::Base
    def ping
      render text: 'pong'
    end
  end

  config.secret_token = '!*#&$' * 31

  get '/ping',   :to  => 'ping#ping'
  match '/pang', :to => Apple
  match '/pzng', :to => ->(hash) { [200,{'content-type' => 'text/html'},["Hello, World!"]] }
  match '/pung' do
    render text: "Hello, World!"
  end

  get '/pxng' do
    render text: "Hello, World!"
  end

  get '/ptng' do
    render text: "Hello, World!"
  end

  post '/ptng' do
    render text: "POST Hello, World!"
  end
end

Todo

[x] Better defaults
[/] Sinatra DSL
  [X] block dsl in router
  [X] block dsl behaviours like controller action
    [X] render
    [X] redirect
    [ ] ....
  [ ] jsonp helpers?
  [ ] short helpers
    (jsonp,404,text,haml etc.)
    lets provide these as controller helpers, so they become backwards compatible
[ ] Guides
[ ] Example App, 1 branch per refactor
[ ] Encourage fast tests
[ ] Routing stuff
  [ ] Single Controller per routing context
  [ ] expose callbacks, helper methods...

Future

[ ] Async
  [ ] long connections
  [ ] large non-blocking fileuploads
