Sinatra Variable Scope
- by Ethan Turkeltaub
Take the following code:
### Dependencies
require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'
require 'datamapper'
### Configuration
config = YAML::load(File.read('config.yml'))
name = config['config']['name']
description = config['config']['description']
username = config['config']['username']
password = config['config']['password']
theme = config['config']['theme']
set :public, 'views/themes/#{theme}/static'
### Models
DataMapper.setup(:default, "sqlite3://#{Dir.pwd}/marvin.db")
class Post
include DataMapper::Resource
property :id, Serial
property :name, String
property :body, Text
property :created_at, DateTime
property :slug, String
end
class Page
include DataMapper::Resource
property :id, Serial
property :name, String
property :body, Text
property :slug, String
end
DataMapper.auto_migrate!
### Controllers
get '/' do
@posts = Post.get(:order => [ :id_desc ])
haml :"themes/#{theme}/index"
end
get '/:year/:month/:day/:slug' do
year = params[:year]
month = params[:month]
day = params[:day]
slug = params[:slug]
haml :"themes/#{theme}/post.haml"
end
get '/:slug' do
haml :"themes/#{theme}/page.haml"
end
get '/admin' do
haml :"admin/index.haml"
end
I want to make name, and all those variables available to the entire script, as well as the views. I tried making them global variables, but no dice.
