Bebop

Bebop is small Sinatra/Monk extension for DRY resource based routing. It provides targeted filters, path helpers, nested resources, printable routing information, and familiar action methods like new, show, destroy, update, and index.

The name comes from its happy partnering with the Monk glue framework, as Thelonius Monk is considered to be the father of bebop.

dependencies

install

Make sure you have gemcutter.org as one of your sources:

gem sources -a http://gemcutter.org

Then:

gem install bebop

verify

Requires rspec version 1.2.9 or higher

cd /path/to/bebop; spec spec

sample

If you wanted to expose the resource foo (in this case Foo is implemented as an AR model):

require 'bebop'
require 'sinatra'
require 'foo'

class MyApp < Sinatra::Base
  register Bebop    

  resource :foos do |foos|

    # GET /foos/:foo_id
    foos.show do
      @foo = Foo.find(params[:foo_id])
      haml :'foos/show'
    end

    # GET /foos/new
    foos.new do
      @foo = Foo.new
      haml :'foos/new'
    end
  end
end

more detail

See the examples directory. You can play with each of the examples as follows:

$ pwd
/path/to/bebop
$ ruby examples/routes.rb

>> Maximum connections set to 1024
>> Listening on 0.0.0.0:4567, CTRL+C to stop

routes

Run your sinatra/monk app with the PROUTES env variable set to view the routes created with the resource method

$ ruby my_app.rb PROUTES=true

or

$ thor monk:start PROUTES=true

NOTE: planning to change the formatting soon, as it currently sucks
