Hi Folks,
I've blogged about a little Shoes template that I'd like to share
with others.
From the blog:
I’ve been using Shoes for the GUI portions of some small side
projects I’ve been writing. In the process I’ve written a small
template/framework for starting off new Shoes projects that might be
of help to others, so I’d like to present it here.
Features
* Support for ActiveRecord using SQLite3, including -
o Automatic creation of databases in an automatically
created data directory (auto-database creation courtesy SQLite3)
o Automatic per-environment migrations
o Automatic per-environment loading of fixtures on empty
databases
* A “Tab Bar” which gives the ability to create an MDI-like
Shoes application.
* Automatic loading of classes placed in the ‘lib’ and ‘lib/
shoes’ directory.
* Automatic loading of libraries in the ‘/vendor’ directory
* Automatic naming of application based on the filename found in
the ‘/bin’ directory
* Automatic generation of a variable representing the
application root directory, accessible through the ‘Environment’ module
* Automatic creation of an application data directory,
accessible through the ‘Environment’ module
* A console script to allow you to play with your (non-Shoes)
classes interactively
* Support for RSpec testing of non-Shoes classes
* Rake tasks for running Shoes, RSpec examples and resetting the
database.
