A lightweight MVC framework inspired by Ruby on Rails.

To see it in action, check out my minesweeper game: live • github

• gem install laris
• Put sql files in db/migrations/ numbered in the order you want them to be executed (NB I need to add a rake task for migrating. At the moment you will need to run DBConnection.migrate yourself)
• Create models in app/models/

# app/models/post.rb

class Post < LarisrecordBase
  belongs_to :author, class_name: "User", foreign_key: :user_id
end

• Construct routes using a regex, controller name, and method name

# config/routes.rb

ROUTER.draw do
  get Regexp.new("^/users$"), UsersController, :index
  get Regexp.new("^/users/new$"), UsersController, :new
  post Regexp.new("^/users$"), UsersController, :create
  get Regexp.new("^/users/(?<id>\\d+)$"), UsersController, :show
  get Regexp.new("^/users/(?<id>\\d+)/edit$"), UsersController, :edit
  patch Regexp.new("^/users/(?<id>\\d+)$"), UsersController, :update
  delete Regexp.new("^/users/(?<id>\\d+)$"), UsersController, :destroy
end

• Add controllers in app/controllers/

# app/controllers/users_controller.rb

class UsersController < ControllerBase
  def index
    @users = User.all

    render :index
  end
end

• Create erb views in app/views/

# app/views/users/index.html.erb

<ul>
  <% @users.each do |user| %>
    <li><%= user.name %></li>
  <% end %>
</ul>

• Place any assets in app/assets
• You will need a database URL to run locally (yeah, I have work to do). If you are feeling adventurous, you can use your Heroku database URL, but probably you shouldn't...

export DATABASE_URL=$(heroku config -s | grep DATABASE_URL | sed -e "s/^DATABASE_URL='//" -e "s/'//")

• Add these to the root of your project:

# laris.ru

require 'laris'
Laris.root = File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__))

require_relative 'config/routes'

run Laris.app

# Procfile

web: bundle exec rackup laris.ru -p $PORT

• Start up your app with bundle exec rackup laris.ru or push to Heroku
• You did it!

• Database config file
• Rake task for migrations
• Migrations in Ruby, not raw SQL
• laris new
