Ditty

Ditty provides an extra layer of functionality on top of Sinatra to give structure and basic tools to an already great framework. You can get a new application, with user authentication and basic CRUD / REST interfaces, up and running in minutes.

Add these lines to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ditty'
gem 'sqlite3'

You can replace sqlite3 with a DB adapter of your choice.

And then execute:

bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

gem install ditty

1. Add the components to your rack config file. See the included config.ru file for an example setup
2. Set the DB connection as the DATABASE_URL ENV variable: DATABASE_URL=sqlite://development.db
3. Prepare the Ditty folder: bundle exec ditty prep
4. Run the Ditty migrations: bundle exec ditty migrate
5. Run the Ditty server: bundle exec ditty server

The application can now be further extended by creating components.

Ditty provides a number of Rubocop cops to ensure that the Ditty framework is used correctly. Enable this by adding the following to your .rubocop.yml file:

require: ditty/rubocop

You can run Ditty specific cops as follows:

bundle exec rubocop --only Ditty

Adding the -a flag to the invocation will automatically fix some of the issues for you, but, as always, ensure you have a working copy of your code before running this.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
