AlmlEngine

(Still being actively developed)

Usage

Simple Example:


  alml = Alml::Engine.new template_text
  alml.render { |script_name, script_index| "I return the rendered content of #{script_name}<br/>\n" }

Advanced Example, handling the :auto script keyword:


  alml = Alml::Engine.new template_text
  script_order_map = alml.script_map(unordered_app_array) { |app, script_name| app.name == script_param }
  
  alml.render do |script_name, script_index|
    script_order_map[script_index].collect { |app| "I return the rendered content of #{app.name}<br/>\n" }.join('\n')
  end

Currently Acceptable commands

Installation

To enable the library your Rails 2.1 (or greater) project, use the gem configuration method in “config/environment.rb”


Rails::Initializer.run do |config|
  config.gem 'thrivesmart-alml_engine', :lib => 'alml_engine', :source => 'http://gems.github.com'
end

The :lib is important, because rails gets confused when the name of the gem is different from the library.

And of course, run


  rake gems:install

To get them installed on your system.

Optionally, to unpack it into your application, just run:


  rake gems:unpack GEM=thrivesmart-alml_engine
