This template provides a basic Sinatra application that includes:
- Active Record using sinatra-activerecord
- PostgreSQL for a database
- Sinatra::Reloader to automatically reload modified files during development
- RSpec for unit testing
- Capybara for acceptance testing
- Pry for debugging
# Clone down this template
git clone git@github.com:LaunchAcademy/sinatra-activerecord-starter-kit.git <YOUR_APP_NAME>
# Move into your app's directory
cd <YOUR_APP_NAME>
# Install all the gems
bundle install
# Remove the old git history and start your own
rm -rf .git && git init && git add -A && git commit -m 'Initial commit'
This template is set up for using a PostgreSQL database. You will need to create a
config/database.yml. There is an example at config/database.example.yml.
Once you've created a config/database.yml, you can create your database with
rake db:create.
This template uses the sinatra-activerecord gem, which provides the following rails-like rake tasks:
rake db:create # create the database from config/database.yml from the current Sinatra env
rake db:create_migration # create an ActiveRecord migration
rake db:drop # drops the data from config/database.yml from the current Sinatra env
rake db:migrate # migrate the database (use version with VERSION=n)
rake db:rollback # roll back the migration (use steps with STEP=n)
rake db:schema:dump # dump schema into file
rake db:schema:load # load schema into database
rake db:seed # load the seed data from db/seeds.rb
rake db:setup # create the database and load the schema
rake db:test:prepare # Prepare test database from development schema
