Class: Merb::BootLoader::BuildFramework

Inherits:
Merb::BootLoader show all
Defined in:
lib/merb-core/bootloader.rb

Overview

Build the framework paths.

By default, the following paths will be used:

application

Merb.root/app/controller/application.rb

config

Merb.root/config

lib

Merb.root/lib

log

Merb.root/log

view

Merb.root/app/views

model

Merb.root/app/models

controller

Merb.root/app/controllers

helper

Merb.root/app/helpers

mailer

Merb.root/app/mailers

part

Merb.root/app/parts

To override the default, set Merb::Config in your initialization file. Merb::Config takes a Hash whose key is the name of the path, and whose values can be passed into Merb.push_path (see Merb.push_path for full details).

Notes

All paths will default to Merb.root, so you can get a flat-file structure by doing Merb::Config = {}.

Example

Merb::Config[:framework] = {
  :view   => Merb.root / "views",
  :model  => Merb.root / "models",
  :lib    => Merb.root / "lib",
  :public => [Merb.root / "public", nil]
  :router => [Merb.root / "config", "router.rb"]
}

That will set up a flat directory structure with the config files and controller files under Merb.root, but with models, views, and lib with their own folders off of Merb.root.

Class Method Details

.build_framework ⇒ Object

Sets up merb paths to support the app’s file layout. First, config/framework.rb is checked, next we look for Merb.root/framework.rb, finally we use the default merb layout (Merb::BootLoader.default_framework)

This method can be overriden to support other application layouts.

Returns

nil
