app

Packed app example

To package the application in this directory, run the following command:

$ mdl pack app.rb > package.rb

You can then run the packaged app just like a normal Ruby application:

$ ruby package.rb

Note that mdl will automatically process all the app's dependencies and include them in the package. The resulting file contains some bootstrapping code as well as a zipped representation of each module's source code.

Using Bundler's inline gemfile feature, the Modulation gem is installed automatically.

In the future, packaging apps will also support:

• Binary code representation (using RubyVM::InstructionSequence)
• File path obfuscation (to prevent leaking file paths from the developer's machine)
• Automatically installing and loading gem dependencies specified in the app's Gemfile

For more information see the Modulation README.
