Sinatra::Drumkit

A simple framework for auto loading model and controller code in sinatra apps.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sinatra-drumkit'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sinatra-drumkit

Sinatra::Drumkit provides simple auto-loading mechanisms to sinatra. Once the module is registered, one can configure it via the rhythm method. Drumkit will make a best guess based on the root setting of the application.

class App < Sinatra::Base
  set :root, -> { File.expand_path(__dir__) }

  register Sinatra::Drumkit
  rhythm namespace: App

  # Models are now auto-loaded into App::Model...
  # Controllers have been executed in the context of the current app
end

Generally it search PROJECT_ROOT/app/models for model code and PROJECT_ROOT/app/controllers for controller code.

One will need to set the parent name space for Models which will subsequently be loaded into the Namespace::Model module.

Controllers are loaded and executed in the context of the application so they can be written as though they were in the body of the siantra app.

# file: ./app/controllers/index.rb

get /
  [200, {}, 'Hello world!']
end

After checking out the repo, run bundle update to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests.
