Default layouts in Sinatra (except from a stackxchange post)

Automatic Wrapping

To make every view default to be wrapped in a layout, create a file in erb/layout.erb and your calls to erb :myview will automatically be wrapped in this layout.

Skipping the Layout

If you want a particular view rendering not to use the layout, use:

 

Using a Different Layout

If you want to use a layout other than the common layout, create another file (for example views/admin_layout.haml) and then pass this as an option:

 

Quick Coding: dealing with quirks in Sinatra + Thin + Windows 8.1 (part 1)

This is mostly to document an ongoing issue I’ve been going with while tinkering around with Sinatra in Windows 8.1, sadly.

 

 

A while back I never documented issues passing through arguments with Sinatra while using it with a combination of config.ru, thin, and rackup on the command line. Well, I finally found a one-liner that makes life with sinatra/windows 8.1 SLIGHTLY easier… First though:

All I really need is:

“-e development” (etc)  sets your application to run in development or production (forgot what it defaults to), but you have to configure a few things depending on what you want to do.

Then somewhere within my app class:

In this case, I don’t have Sinatra::Reloader registered while in production mode, since I want Sinatra to be a bit more persistent instead of reloading per page request.

But the magic piece of code is

You could pretty much name your environment(s) anything.

 

More to come.

 

Update: Now i’m investigating something like this:

Then

Well, my assumptions after using thin from the command line for a while is true: the argument to parse a configuration file (-C) doesn’t seem to be available on Windows 8.1 or at least this version of thin… That kinda sucks; I may poke around the source code for thin a while and see what kind of patch I can come up with.
