# Background
Sinator is [Sinatra](http://www.sinatrarb.com/) application generator. It will generate Sinatra application with minimum configuration.
The reasons behind this project because I want to create many small web application based on sinatra with other third party ruby gems as foundation.
# Features
* Generate Sinatra based web application without database
* Generate Sinatra based web application with PostgreSQL database configuration and Sequel as ORM
* Rake task for assets precompile and assets clean
### Installation
```ruby
gem install sinator
```
with Bundler, put this code in your Gemfile:
```ruby
gem 'sinator'
```
### How to Use
Generate app in current directory without database.
```
sinator -n my_app
```
Generate app in target directory without database.
```
sinator -n my_app -t target/dir
```
Generate app in current directory with database. `-d` option will generate app with `Sequel` ORM and PostgreSQL adapter.
```
sinator -n my_app -d
```
Run web server on localhost.
```
bundle exec puma
```
Run application console / interactive mode / IRB.
```
bundle exec tux
```

This example assume that PostgreSQL is already running.

2. cd `my_app`
3. run `bundle install`
4. configure your database setting in `config/database.yml`
5. create database with `createdb my_app_development`.
