• Building a Sinatra app in Ruby

  Sinatra is a lightweight web application framework written in Ruby. It provides a simple and easy-to-use syntax for building web applications. The framework focuses on being minimalistic, allowing developers to quickly create web applications without having to deal with a lot of the boilerplate code and relatively rigid way of doing things that accompany larger and more popular frameworks like Rails. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• 16 Best Ruby Frameworks For Web Development [2024]

  Sinatra is the best ruby framework available in the market for web development. Sinatra is a simple and easy-to-use DSL written in Ruby and often used popularly in place of Ruby on Rails as a web development framework.

• Ruby on Rails: The Documentary [video]

  You're bike shedding [0]. Rails/DHH took already established design patterns and made strong opinions into a convention on the folder hierarchy of where you store your code. You can change that hierarchy, its not set in stone. It will require a lot of change. I've been on teams and it isn't just on-boarding time, its countless hours trying to find code written by someone no longer there that had their own layout... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Am I making my REST API correctly?

  I'm practicing my JavaScript skills and I am building a simple REST API. I'm using Sinatra for the back and and all that does is is define some end points and return JSON. I then use a JavaScript file to call `fetch` on the server and then update/change and display the page using that. At the moment I'm only doing GET requests but will look at POST later.

• Creating a Sinatra API with system-wide dependency injection using dry-system and rom-rb

  Today, among beginners with Ruby, it's common to think about two possible paths when developing an application; if you want a simple single-file API, just use Sinatra and for everything else, use Ruby on Rails. Well, in this article, allow me to provide a way to manage a big application using Sinatra as the HTTP library and dry-rb libraries as the glue to a modular architecture. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

• Full Time

  Yes, and it was not that well designed to be honest... The successor is quite a lot nicer and it's called Javalin[1]. Same philosophy but just got things right where Spark, being the "first" (in the Java world, using the design inherited by Sinatra[2]) had a few design issues.

• Why are there so many Rails related posts here?

  This is something that kind of annoys me; there's even a /r/rails sub-reddit specifically for Ruby on Rails stuff. Understandably Rails helped put Ruby on the map. Before Rails, Ruby was just another fringe language. Rails became massively popular, helped many startups quickly build their Web 2.0 sites, and become successful companies (ex: GitHub, LinkedIn, AirBnB, etc). Like others have said, "Rails is where the... Source: 12 months ago

• Last Year You Said Next Year – Linear

  Neat! I do gotta say, since I wasn't able to find their Github at all through the website (I will totally believe I just missed it), they're currently failing my "clicks to code" test. Given that it's not necessarily aimed at engineers, that's fine tho. (the winner, at zero, remains https://sinatrarb.com/). - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Creating an App with React and Sinatra

  To wrap up my current phase of learning, I've been tasked to create a React application that utilizes Sinatra. As an avid D&D fan, I decided that for this project I'd create a character manager. I thought it would be a challenging way to create a backend database of users who manage their characters. I also created a DB Diagram to show my tables and relationships:. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Thoughts on yada (and why Clojure won't have a Rails anytime soon)

  In the context of yada and Rails, it's worth considering Sinatra, a Ruby library released in 2007 which is similar in scope to yada or any other of the Clojure web "libraries". It's interesting that even though Sinatra has been available alongside Rails for almost 15 years, I don't think I've seen any job postings for "Sinatra" developers lately (though I'm sure they're out there, just like Clojure devs).

• Sinatra vs. Roda, what's your take?

  I'm a big fan of Sinatra, but recently I came across Roda which is by Jeremy Evan's whose wonderful ORM gem Sequel I've used in several projects. Looking at the documentation, Roda seems quite nice and performance gain is always appreciated. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ruby Bingo

  My most recent project was a Bingo game, with a focus on backend development. (The repo for the backend is here, and the frontend is here.) The frontend is a pretty basic React application, and the backend uses a SQLite database with the Active Record ORM, and Sinatra to handle the routes. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Tesla back end is in Rails

  Not everything written in Ruby is using Rails (although it's quite likely). If I remember correctly, Stripe used to be big on Sinatra (http://sinatrarb.com). - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Writing a web application in pure Ruby (no framework)?

  You can get very bare bones with Ruby though. The Sinatra framework is a router + templating engine. Everything else is up to you. It's my go to choice for when I just want a few endpoints wrapped up in a few files. For example, I built a simple web app that reads a CSV file written by the WiiScale app (for Mac), and displays a chart using HighCharts. My app.rb file is 175 lines of code. Very simple.
