WdSinatraActiveRecord

Some code to avoid reinventing the wheel every time you want to use ActiveRecord in a WeaselDiesel app backed by Sinatra.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'wd_sinatra_active_record'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install wd_sinatra_active_record

Usage

Add an ActiveRecord database.yml file in your config folder and then require this gem in your app.rb file.

The DB settings can be accessed via:

DBConnector::DB_CONFIG[RACK_ENV]

If you need a secondary DB connection (to another DB for instance), add a new entry to your database.yml config file:

development:
  adapter: mysql2
  encoding: utf8
  reconnect: true
  database: app_development
  pool: 5
  username: root
  password:
  socket: /tmp/mysql.sock

  secondary:
    adapter: mysql2
    encoding: utf8
    reconnect: true
    database: app_development
    pool: 5
    username: root
    password:
    socket: /tmp/mysql.sock

Then in your app.rb after requiring this gem:

class SecondaryConnection < ActiveRecord::Base
  self.abstract_class = true
end
secondary_config = DBConnector::DB_CONFIG[RACK_ENV]['secondary']
SecondaryConnection.establish_connection(secondary_config) unless ENV['DONT_CONNECT']

Then whichever ActiveRecord that needs to connect to the secondary DB can inherit from SecondaryConnection instead of ActiveRecord::Base.

A rake file with some tasks is also available but I won't support that feature for now.
