merb-core
A new branch of Merb (sometimes referred to as merb-next) which aims to provide a stable, stripped down API for the Merb 1.0 release.
This branch was based off the 0.5 release series with significant rewrites.
Goals of this release:
* Stabilize the @public interface methods to provide for a more consistent application development experience. * Remove features until nothing except a central application API is left * Improve comments on methods using a standard documentation methodology as described in DOCUMENTATION_STANDARDS * Separate the tests into two sections... "private" and "public" * Public methods are methods tagged with @public that will be part of the standard, stable Merb API * Private methods are implementation methods that might * Implement a new render API * Build more extensions to regain selected features when needed
To familiarize yourself with how a merb-core application might look, use merb-gen (from merb-more) to generate a few apps:
$ merb-gen app myapp # merb stack app, assuming you are using DM and RSpec
The only option you can use with stack is --template_engine=(erb|haml). Default is erb.
$ merb-gen core myapp # a "regular" app without any predefined dependencies
Options available:
--orm=datamapper --orm=sequel --orm=activerecord
Default is no ORM.
--testing_framework=rspec --testing_framework=test_unit
Default is rspec.
--template_enging=erb --template_enging=haml
Default is erb.
$ merb-gen flat myapp # a flattened app: one file and directory for views
Options are same as for "regular" app.
$ merb-gen very_flat myapp # a single-file app
Options are same as for "regular" app.
