sinatra-gen generates a common file structure and basic app files for a web app utilizing the sinatra framework. For more information on sinatra, check out sinatra.rubyforge.org

sinatra-gen has a bunch of different options (based loosley on merb-gen) to try to not lock the user into any specific frameworks/dev practices.

Run:

sinatra-gen [appname] [actions] [options]

e.g.

sinatra-gen mysinatrapp get:/ post:/:id --vendor --init --test=shoulda --views=haml

!! NEW as of 0.2.0 (12/23/08)

For even faster app development you specify actions to include in your app when generating. Actions are written out as

http_method:path

And are seperated by spaces. For example:

get:/ post:/:id put:/update/*

Will be added you your app as:

get '/' do
end

post '/:id' do
end

put '/update/*' do
end

It will also generate test skeletons in the test framework of your choosing.

(can also be obtained by running sinatra-gen with no arguments):

-v, –version Show the sinatra-gen version number and quit. -d, –vendor Extract the latest sinatra to vendor/sinatra –tiny Only create the minimal files. –init Initialize a git repository –cap Adds config directory with basic capistrano deploy.rb –scripts Install the rubigen scripts (script/generate, script/destroy) –git /path/to/git Specify a different path for ‘git’ –test=test_framework Specify your testing framework (unit (default)/rspec/spec/shoulda) –views=view_framework Specify your view framework (erb (default)/haml/builder)

The –tiny option will create no directories. Just an app.rb, a Rakefile, and a config.ru (Rackup file)

Big props to the Sinatra developers (github.com/bmizerany/sinatra/). Also, thanks to Dr. Nic (github.com/drnic) for the Rubigen and Newgem libraries

To use the –vendor option, git must be installed. To run the app without using the vendor option, the sinatra gem must be installed.

sudo gem install sintra-gen

You can also install directly from github:
