Grat¶ ↑

Grat is a minimal content management dealy.

It runs on Rack and uses MongoDB for wicked flexibility.

Woo.

Use it like so:

1. Install gem (may need to set up gemcutter)

2. Fresh directory

3. config.ru file containing:

   require 'rubygems'
   require 'rack'
   require 'grat'
   
   Grat.database_conf # uses defaults, database=grat_development
   # to override:
   # Grat.database_conf(:host => 'localhost', :database => 'grat_special')
   
   use Rack::ShowExceptions # <- Up to you.
   run Grat::Application
   

4. rackup (or passenger, if you know how)

5. localhost:9292/__admin/edit/mypage edits a page that will be available at localhost:9292/mypage

6. localhost:9292/__admin/ for a list of all pages

7. localhost:9292/__admin/export to get a json dump of all pages

8. localhost:9292/__admin/import to import one of those dumps

9. Protect from writes by strangers with Rack::If

   # http://github.com/samsm/Rackif
   
   use Rack::If, {:method => /(POST)|(PUT)|(DELETE)/, :path => /__admin/}, :any do
     use Rack::Auth::Basic, "Grat protected" do |username, password|
       'secret' == password
     end
   end
   

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but

  bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
