Twitter Bootstrap Sinatra extension with HAML helpers

Sinatra Twitter Bootstrap (css+js+helpers)

What?

A set of helpers that brings beauty of Twitter Bootstrap CSS to your Sinatra applications. This gem bundle all CSS and Javascript files needed for this.

Why?

I want to make my small Sinatra apps looks nice with minimal effort. Currently I need to download all CSS and Javascript, add them to public folder and include them in HAML templates. That is just too much work!

How?

Is simple. Add this line to your Gemfile:

gem 'sinatra-twitter-bootstrap', :require => 'sinatra/twitter-bootstrap'

or without bundler, gem install sinatra-twitter-bootstrap and then:

require 'sinatra/twitter-bootstrap'

Then in your Sinatra application/class you can do:

class TestApp < Sinatra::Base
  register Sinatra::Twitter::Bootstrap::Assets
end

(TODO: make this a bit shorter)

Now, surprise surprise! Your application will automatically generate routes for bootstrap CSS and JS files. It will also setup HTTP caching and ETags, so it will not be too much overheat for your app.

Since I'm old and lazy, I create small helpers you can use in your HAML views:

%html
  %head
    = bootstrap_assets
  %body
    - container :fluid do
      - row do
        - span3 do
          = yield
        - span5 :offset => 4 do
          %p hello world

The full example could be found in 'examples' directory.
