ruby-app-skeleton

Skeleton for a simple ruby application.

Application Configuration

Application is configured by environment.rb.

config.yml

The configuration is described by config/config.yml and accessible through Application.config.

config.yml can rely on ENV variables using the following syntax:

some_var: <%= ENV['SOME_VAR'] %>

In development, instead of exporting ENV variables, they can be declared in config/application.yml:

SOME_VAR: __some_value__

autoload_path

app, lib and any (sub)folder of app/models are added to autoload_path.

initializers

Scripts in config/initializers are executed at the end application setup.

Rake tasks

Rakefile sets up basics for rake tasks. Any *.rake file in lib/**/tasks is loaded into rake. Rakefile also provides a :environment task which provides a context in which application is set up (config, access to models...).
