sinatra-url-for

sinatra-url-for can be used by a Sinatra application to construct absolute paths and full URLs.

To install it, run:

  sudo gem install emk-sinatra-url-for -s http://gems.github.com

To include it in a Sinatra application, write:

  require 'rubygems'
  gem 'emk-sinatra-url-for'
  require 'sinatra/url_for'

Once this is done, you should be able to call url_for from within a request. Assuming that your application is running on example.com, and that it has been mapped to /myapp, you should get:

  url_for "/"            # Returns "/myapp/"
  url_for "/foo"         # Returns "/myapp/foo"
  url_for "/foo", :full  # Returns "http://example.com/myapp/foo"

If you‘re subclassing Sinatra::Base, then you need to call helpers manually:

  class MyApp < Sinatra::Base
    helpers Sinatra::UrlForHelper
    # ...
  end

Thanks to "cypher23" on mephisto and the folks on rack for pointing me in the right direction. If this gem fails to work correctly on your web system, please feel free to submit patches and/or bug reports!
