ngittlen / sinatra_cyclist

Cycle through Sinatra routes at a regular duration.

SinatraCyclist

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sinatra_cyclist'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sinatra_cyclist

Installation into your code depends on how you are using Sinatra.

Dashing

If you are using dashing update your config.ru to look something like:

require "sinatra/cyclist"
require 'dashing'

configure do
  set :auth_token, 'YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN'

  helpers do
    def protected!
     # Put any authentication code you want in here.
     # This method is run before accessing any resource.
    end
  end
end

map Sinatra::Application.assets_prefix do
  run Sinatra::Application.sprockets
end

set :routes_to_cycle_through, [:dashboard_1, :dashboard_2]

run Sinatra::Application

• Require sinatra_cyclist before dashing otherwise you will see this error:

  No such file or directory - sample/dashboards/_cycle.erb

• Set the routes_to_cycle_through before running the application.

Classic Applications

Require the gem and specify the routes you want to cycle through.

require "sinatra"
require "sinatra/cyclist"

set :routes_to_cycle_through, [:page_1, :page_2]

get "/page_1" do
  "Page 1"
end

get "/page_2" do
  "Page 2"
end

Modular Applications

Require the gem, explicitly register the extension, and specify the routes.

require "sinatra/base"
require "sinatra/cyclist"

class MyApp < Sinatra::Base
  register Sinatra::Cyclist

  set :routes_to_cycle_through, [:page_1, :page_2]

  get "/page_1" do
    "Page 1"
  end

  get "/page_2" do
    "Page 2"
  end
end

Usage

Now visit /_cycle to start cycling!

You can also specify a duration (in seconds) in the params to the cycle action
