Ruby Framework

Framework to build Ruby applications for all your needs. Rails without web perks.

• ActiveRecord interface
• Customizable structure
• YAML configuration
• Appication generators
• Useful console mode
• ... Find more

• Obviously, you need a framework :)
• You need to quickly start a project from scratch
• You want to have your backend code to stay separate from any large frameworks (like Rails)
• You want to build some "worker" application running your business logic with no interface
• Setting up an interview? Use Framework!
• Wanna build web application? You can easily integrate your code into any web framework (Rack, Rails etc) (see below)
• You don't want to learn a new framework, you are the one who knows only Rails :)
• You want to test something quickly and you don't want to waste your time setting new environment up

1. Install Framework at the command prompt if you haven't yet:

gem install framework

2. Create a new application:

framework new myapp

rake console

framework g migration create_users

Pretty similar to Rails (just a sample):

.
|____app
| |____models
| | |____concerns
| | | |____.keep
| | |____task.rb
| | |____user.rb
| |____tasks
| | |____hello.rake
|____config
| |____application.yml
| |____database.yml
| |____environment.rb
| |____initializers
| | |____time_zone.rb
|____db
| |____migrate
| | |____.keep
| | |____20141128085924_create_tasks.rb
| | |____20141128090211_create_users.rb
|____Gemfile
|____Gemfile.lock
|____lib
| |____.keep
|____Rakefile
|____README.md

Configurations are stored in config/application.yml. Note, that as opposed to Rails, even initializers and models are listed as custom paths in autoload_paths section. This gives you a flexibility to explicitly say which paths and what exactly used in your app. Don't need no initializers? Don't list them in autoload paths. Order matters.

development: &common
  enable_logging: yes
  autoload_paths:
    - app/models
    - app/managers
  default_timezone: 'Pacific Time (US & Canada)'

test:
  <<: *common
  enable_logging: no

staging:
  <<: *common

production:
  <<: *common
  enable_logging: no

I encourage you to contribute! :)
