# Resin: a simple environment for Amber development

|
|
|
## About
|
|
|
|
Resin is a simple [Sinatra](http://sinatrarb.com) application which allows for
|
|
a rapid-bootstrap of an [Amber](http://amber-lang.net) 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
|
|
|
|
Read further, or you could just [watch this fanciful screencast](http://youtu.be/9NHCGJxQKlA)
|
|
|
|
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](http://localhost:4567)
|
|
|
|
% runresin
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Custom Views
|
|
|
|
Adding custom views is pretty easy, just create the `views` directory and start
|
|
adding [HAML](http://haml-lang.com) files into it. If for example if you wanted
|
|
to create a URL [localhost:4567/user](http://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
|
