Thor script to generate a skeleton Sinatra application

I love Sinatra and the minimalist philosophy it embodies.

However, I felt that frameworks like Monk or Padrino take away from that minimalist feel.

So I created a script using Thor that generates a very minimal Sinatra application.

This Thor script will generate a minimalist Sinatra application.

The application that is generated includes the following Gems:

• sinatra
• sinatra-contrib
• unicorn

And sets up the following front-end frameworks

• jQuery
• Bootstrap

Finally, the script will automatically install gems via Bundler and initialize a Git repository.

• Ruby
• Git
• Thor
• Bundler

Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/jeffharrington/sinatra-thor.git

Change to the directory of the project and run:

thor install sinatra.thor

After going through the installation process, you will now see the task installed when you run:

thor installed

Execute the script using Thor as follows:

thor sinatra:generate YOUR_APPLICATION_NAME

This will generate a new Sinatra application with the following folder structure:

• config/
  • unicorn.rb
• public/
  • css/
    • application.css
  • js/
    • application.js
• views/
  • layouts/
    • application.erb
  • index.erb
• .gitignore
• app.rb
• config.ru
• environment.rb
• Gemfile
• Procfile
