RubyPages

Simple Ruby Web Framework designed mainly for learning Web Development for everyone. Inspired by PHP. To make a new Web page just create an html file which supports ERB. E.g. for https:://yoursite.com/products.html create page products.html with any Ruby code.

Installation

Ruby programming language should be installed.

Install the gem by executing:

$ gem install ruby_pages

Usage Examples

Create any HTML site that supports Ruby code in HTML/JSON pages using ERB:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Using Ruby Code - Example</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Server Time:</h1>

  <%= Time.now %>

  <p>Reload the page to get current time.</p>
</body>
</html>

Loop through collection:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Loop through collection - Example</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Users</h1>

  <% users = [{name: "Alice"}, {name: "Bob"}] %>

  <% for user in users %>
    <p>USER: <%= user[:name] %></p>
  <% end %>
</body>
</html>

Templates Rendering

Create files templates/header.html, templates/footer.html containing site header and footer HTML respectively. Reuse the code in any HTML page:

<%= render "templates/header", title: "About Us" %>
