A base Sinatra application template. Just fork and build. Yay! Includes Bundler, DataMapper, and RSpec, all ready to go.

Dependencies and all configuration is done in environment.rb. Your database is also set up here. DataMapper will use sqlite3 by default. Tests use the sqlite3-memory adapter (no configuration needed).

Add your controller actions in application.rb. Views for these actions are placed in the views directory. Static files, including a stock stylesheet, go in the public directory. Models go in the lib directory and are auto-loaded.

Environment variables that you want to expose to your application can be added in .env

Add your specs in spec; just require spec_helper.rb to pre-configure the test environment. A number of samples are provided (including a sample model, which can be removed). To run the specs:

bundle exec rake spec

bundle install
bundle exec foreman start

We've included a handy console script that fires up irb with your environment loaded. To load it, use the Rake task:

bundle exec rake console
