Sinatra-like framework?

Hello,

before I roll-out my own solution, I thought I should ask:

Are you aware of a Sinatra-like web-framework for Pharo?

http://www.sinatrarb.com/

Or can Zinc-HTTP do that more or less out-of-the-box?

Thanks!


Sebastian

P.S. As far as I understood Seaside-REST is not aimed at web-pages.

He also has a repo for it up on github and I don't know which has the
most recent code

If you have a Stackoverflow account, you can add your answer here.

Otherwise I will answer the question myself, for future reference ;-)

Philippe marshall presented a solution in seaside at ESUG this year. So it is really possible.

You mean this?

I took a look at Seaside-REST and it seems this is already supported
there... (?)

What are your primary expectations? Simplicity, REST, flexibility, for
what kind of web apps?

Best regards

Hi Janko,

well, what I am looking for is:

* "nice" URLs (without Seaside-like session/callback query-parameters)
* simple URL mapping
* helping functionality (for dealing with query-params, cookies,
setting/getting HTTP headers, etc.)

Let's say for implementing a blog, or a simple web-page with basic
nagivation. Don't think I need more at the moment.

Best regards,
Sebastian

With "URL mapping" I mean to variables/parameters, like:

/blog/post/{id}/{slur}

respondWithPost: id slur: slur
^ 'html for post'

Since I see you are involved with Aida... can Aida do something like
that? I am not much familiar with it...

Best regards,
Sebastian

Look at Aida tutorial to see if it suits your needs:

        http://www.aidaweb.si/tutorial
       
For blog there is a Scribo CMS addon with (a bit outdated) blog
included. Wiki and website functionality is up to date.

Best regards
Janko

Aida has a pluggable router so you can plug your own routing scheme
besides default ones. I'd implement your example in something like these
steps:

1. create a standalone App class, say MyBlogApp, as a subclass of
   WebApplication
2. register it in a router:

   AIDASite default router
      addRoutePattern: '/blog/post/*'
      handler: MyBlogApp new

3. create #resouceFor: method in MyBlogApp to return itself
4. continue writing the standard Aida way by implementing #viewMain etc.
5. extracting {id} and {slur} part by accessing the url of the last request:

        self session lastRequest urlString

... and so on.

To ease all of this we can add an additional routing functionality to
Aida to be available by default, after collecting some experience, how
is the best way to do this. If you are interested to help ... :)

Best regards
Janko
