Quasar

A small starting point for a Sinatra app. Good for prototyping.

Out of the box

• Live Reload
• Sass + Compass
• CoffeeScript
• Slim / Erb

Usage

• Clone the repo
• cd into repo and run bundle
• Run ruby app.rb
• In a new terminal tab or window run guard
• Make sure you have the Live Reload Browser Extension
• Activate the extension by clicking the button in your browser while at your projects URL (0.0.0.0:4567 or can be changed in app.rb)
• Get prototyping!!!

Layouts

Quasar uses layouts by default now. In app.rb you can specify if the view should be rendered using a layout:

# Routes
get '/' do
  @content = data["content"]
  # Using default layout
  slim :view_name
  # Using a specific layout
  slim :view_name, :layout => :layout_view_name
  # Using no layout
  slim :view_name, :layout => false
end

Deployment

• To deploy to heroku, have the toolbelt installed
• run heroku create APPNAME more info on heroku
• run git push heroku master, if pushing a branch that's not master git push heroku localbranchname:master
• open browser and see if it worked, if there are errors, make sure you ran bundle and commited with Gemfile.lock checked-in.
