Resin: a simple environment for Amber development

About

Resin is a simple Sinatra application which allows for a rapid-bootstrap of an Amber project.

The gem bundles a version of Amber and provides the necessary routes to transparently serve up Amber assets or user-defined assets in their current project directory

Getting Started

First you'll need to install the Gem and make your project directory:

% mkdir my-project
% cd my-project
% gem install resin

Once the gem is installed, make some directories to store your own custom Amber code:

% mkdir st js

These directories will allow you to commit your code from the Amber IDE, so once they're created, just run Resin and navigate to localhost:4567

% runresin

Custom Views

Adding custom views is pretty easy, just create the views directory and start adding HAML files into it. If for example if you wanted to create a URL localhost:4567/user then you would create views/user.haml and fill in your template accordingly.

To embed the Amber JavaScripts in your custom views, you can just call the embed_amber function:

%html
    %head
        %title
            My Custom View
        = embed_amber
    %body
        Hello World
