Installation
gem install sinatra-advanced-routes
Example
Route manipulation:
require "sinatra"
require "sinatra/advanced_routes"
admin_route = get "/admin" do
administrate_stuff
end
before do
# Let's deactivate the route if we have no password file.
if File.exists? "admin_password" then admin_route.activate
else admin_route.deactivate
end
end
first_route = get "/:name" do
# stuff
end
other_route = get "/foo_:name" do
# other stuff
end
# Unfortunatly first_route will catch all the requests other_route would
# have gotten, since it has been defined first. But wait, we can fix this!
other_route.promote
Route inspection:
require "some_sinatra_app"
SomeSinatraApp.each_route do |route|
puts "-"*20
puts route.app.name # "SomeSinatraApp"
puts route.path # that's the path given as argument to get and akin
puts route.verb # get / head / post / put / delete
puts route.file # "some_sinatra_app.rb" or something
puts route.line # the line number of the get/post/... statement
puts route.pattern # that's the pattern internally used by
puts route.keys # keys given when route was defined
puts route.conditions # conditions given when route was defined
puts route.block # the route's closure
end
Some of that fields (like conditions or pattern) can be changed (will take effect on the routing).
Usage with Sinatra::Base
require "sinatra/base"
require "sinatra/advanced_routes"
