Ditty

Ditty provides an extra layer of functionality on top of Sinatra to give structure and basic tools to an already great framework. You can get a new application, with user authentication and basic CRUD / REST interfaces, up and running in minutes.

Installation

Add these lines to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ditty'
gem 'sqlite3'

You can replace sqlite3 with a DB adapter of your choice.

And then execute:

bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

gem install ditty

Usage

Add the components to your rack config file. See the included config.ru file for an example setup
Add the Ditty rake tasks to your Rakefile: require 'ditty/rake_tasks'
Set the DB connection as the DATABASE_URL ENV variable: DATABASE_URL=sqlite://development.db
Create and populate the DB and secret tokens:

bundle exec rake proxes:prep
bundle exec rake proxes:generate_tokens
bundle exec rake proxes:migrate
bundle exec rake proxes:seed

Start up the web app: bundle exec rackup

Components

The application can now be further extended by creating components.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
