sinatra-gen

DESCRIPTION:

sinatra-gen generates a common file structure and basic app files for a web app utilizing the sinatra framework. For more information on sinatra, check out sinatra.rubyforge.org

SYNOPSIS:

sinatra-gen has a bunch of different options (based loosley on merb-gen) to try to not lock the user into any specific frameworks/dev practices.

Run:

sinatra-gen [appname] [options]

e.g.

sinatra-gen mysinatrapp --vendor -i --test=shoulda --views=haml

Options (can also be obtained by running sinatra-gen with no arguments):

-v, --version                    Show the sinatra-gen version number and quit.
-d, --vendor                     Extract the latest sinatra to vendor/sinatra
-t, --tiny                       Only create the minimal files.
-s, --scripts                    Install the rubigen scripts (script/generate, script/destroy)
-i, --init                       Initialize a git repository
    --git /path/to/git           Specify a different path for 'git'
    --test=test_framework        Specify your testing framework (unit (default)/rspec/spec/shoulda)
    --views=view_framework       Specify your view framework (erb (default)/haml/builder)

The –tiny option will create no directories. Just an app.rb, a Rakefile, and a config.ru (Rackup file)

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:

Big props to the Sinatra developers (github.com/bmizerany/sinatra/). Also, thanks to Dr. Nic (github.com/drnic) for the Rubigen and Newgem libraries
