A template for medium-to-large Sinatra projects.

This repository contains my preferred full-stack Ruby toolkit, configured and ready to roll in a well-organized structure.

• Webserver: Thin (https://github.com/macournoyer/thin)
• Framework: Sinatra (http://sinatrarb.com/)
• Templating: Slim (http://slim-lang.com/)
• Asset Pipeline: Rake-Pipeline (https://github.com/livingsocial/rake-pipeline)
• ORM: Sequel (http://sequel.rubyforge.org/)
• Database: PostgreSQL/Agnostic (http://postgresql.org/)

Notes

Rake-pipeline's rack middleware only runs automatically during development. Assets will automatically compile at startup, but they will not dynamically recompile in production (they are cache-busted based on a hash of the version number in the project's config file).

Thanks

All the creators and contributors of the awesome tools this framework is built on.
