Architecture for a modular, component-based Sinatra Application

Question

I\'m working on a Sinatra app that contains about 10 different components of functionality. We\'d like to be able to mix and match these components into separate instances of t

TIMTOWTDI - There's_more_than_one_way_to_do_it :) and that is one. But in fact I use another way. I use Sinatra/Base to dev modular apps.

I have simgle routes to each app.

# config.ru file

require 'bundler/setup' Bundler.require(:default)

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/main.rb"

map "/" { run BONES::Main }

map "/dashboard" { run BONES::Dashboard }

map "/app1" { run BONES::App1 }

You can have variable sets for each instance. You can develop each 'component' on its Module.

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/lib/helpers.rb"

module BONES

  class Main < Sinatra::Base 
    helpers XIXA::Helpers

    configure :development do
      enable  :sessions, :clean_trace, :inline_templates
      disable :logging, :dump_errors
      set :static, true
      set :public, 'public'
    end

    enable :static, :session
    set :root, File.dirname(__FILE__)
    set :custom_option, 'hello'

    set :haml, { :format => :html5 }

    #...
