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 sinatrarb.com
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] [paths]
e.g.
sinatra-gen mysinatrapp --vendor --init --test=shoulda --views=haml get:/ post:/:id
Actions
For even faster app development you specify actions to include in your app when generating. Actions are written out as
http_method:path
And are seperated by spaces. For example:
get:/ post:/:id put:/update/*
Will be added you your app as:
get '/' do
end
post '/:id' do
end
put '/update/*' do
end
It will also generate test skeletons in the test framework of your choosing.
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
--tiny Only create the minimal files.
--init Initialize a git repository
--heroku Create a Heroku app (also runs 'git init').
Optionally, specify the path to the heroku bin
--cap Adds config directory with basic capistrano deploy.rb
--scripts Install the rubigen scripts (script/generate, script/destroy)
--test=test_framework Specify your testing framework (bacon (default)/rspec/spec/shoulda/test)
--views=view_framework Specify your view framework (haml (default)/erb/builder)
General Options:
-h, --help Show this help message and quit.
-p, --pretend Run but do not make any changes.
-f, --force Overwrite files that already exist.
-s, --skip Skip files that already exist.
-q, --quiet Suppress normal output.
-t, --backtrace Debugging: show backtrace on errors.
-c, --svn Modify files with subversion. (Note: svn must be in path)
-g, --git Modify files with git. (Note: git must be in path)
The –tiny option will create no directories. Just an app.rb, a Rakefile, and a config.ru (Rackup file)
