This is the 1.2 development branch of merb-core, providing core functionality for fast, simple, and powerful (web) application development.
Check the 1.2 wiki page for changes.
- Bring framework and application development up to speed with current versions of supporting frameworks like Rack and RSpec.
- User documentation
- Integrate "interesting" functionality, e.g., CSRF protection.
- Simplify the API further
To familiarize yourself with how a merb-core application might look, use merb-gen to generate a few apps:
$ gem install merb-gen # merb-gen is a gem of its own
$ merb-gen app myapp # merb stack app, assuming you are using DM and RSpec
The only option you can use with stack is --template_engine=(erb|haml).
Default is erb.
$ merb-gen core myapp # a "regular" app without any predefined dependencies
Options available:
--orm=datamapper
--orm=sequel
--orm=activerecord
Default is no ORM.
--testing_framework=rspec
--testing_framework=test_unit
Default is rspec.
--template_enging=erb
--template_enging=haml # requires the "merb-haml" gem
Default is erb.
$ merb-gen flat myapp # a flattened app: one file and directory for views
Options are same as for "regular" app.
$ merb-gen very_flat myapp # a single-file app
Options are same as for "regular" app.
