Sinatra Boilerplate is a lightweight project skeleton for getting a Sinatra project up and running as quickly as possible.

Once you have cloned the project onto your machine, run:

bundle install

And then:

rake --tasks

This will show you some helpful tasks that Sinatra Boilerplate provides.

After you have done that run:

ruby main.rb

And browse to localhost:4567. Here you will find more information regarding how files are organized within the project.

• Rake tasks to automatically update JQuery and Twitter Bootstrap (if you don't wish to use these, there is a task to remove them)
• Helpers for partials, flash messages and detecting mobile devices
• Sass/Scss, with a rake task to automatically compile a minified version of your stylesheets.
• Datamapper (see Gemfile and main.rb for instructions on deploying to Heroku)
• Minitest (the rake task will still work if you choose to use TestUnit)

I no longer actively contribute to this project anymore. I switched to Rails and then more recently I have been experimenting with Google App Engine. I will still leave this project here in case anyone finds it useful.

If you have any problems or you're using this for something let me know!
