Like Kernel#caller but excluding certain magic entries and without line / method information; the resulting array contains filenames only.

[Source]

      # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 1340
1340:       def caller_files
1341:         caller_locations.
1342:           map { |file,line| file }
1343:       end

Like caller_files, but containing Arrays rather than strings with the first element being the file, and the second being the line.

[Source]

      # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 1347
1347:       def caller_locations
1348:         caller(1).
1349:           map    { |line| line.split(/:(?=\d|in )/)[0,2] }.
1350:           reject { |file,line| CALLERS_TO_IGNORE.any? { |pattern| file =~ pattern } }
1351:       end

Set configuration options for Sinatra and/or the app. Allows scoping of settings for certain environments.

[Source]

      # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 1223
1223:       def configure(*envs, &block)
1224:         yield self if envs.empty? || envs.include?(environment.to_sym)
1225:       end

[Source]

      # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 1132
1132:       def delete(path, opts={}, &bk)  route 'DELETE',  path, opts, &bk end

[Source]

      # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 1217
1217:       def development?; environment == :development end

Defining a `GET` handler also automatically defines a `HEAD` handler.

[Source]

      # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 1122
1122:       def get(path, opts={}, &block)
1123:         conditions = @conditions.dup
1124:         route('GET', path, opts, &block)
1125: 
1126:         @conditions = conditions
1127:         route('HEAD', path, opts, &block)
1128:       end

[Source]

      # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 1133
1133:       def head(path, opts={}, &bk)    route 'HEAD',    path, opts, &bk end

Makes the methods defined in the block and in the Modules given in `extensions` available to the handlers and templates

[Source]

      # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 1201
1201:       def helpers(*extensions, &block)
1202:         class_eval(&block)  if block_given?
1203:         include(*extensions) if extensions.any?
1204:       end

[Source]

     # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 625
625:     def initialize(app=nil)
626:       @app = app
627:       @template_cache = Tilt::Cache.new
628:       yield self if block_given?
629:     end

Create a new instance of the class fronted by its middleware pipeline. The object is guaranteed to respond to call but may not be an instance of the class new was called on.

[Source]

      # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 1266
1266:       def new(*args, &bk)
1267:         build(*args, &bk).to_app
1268:       end

[Source]

      # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 1134
1134:       def options(path, opts={}, &bk) route 'OPTIONS', path, opts, &bk end

[Source]

      # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 1131
1131:       def post(path, opts={}, &bk)    route 'POST',    path, opts, &bk end

[Source]

      # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 1218
1218:       def production?;  environment == :production  end

The prototype instance used to process requests.

[Source]

      # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 1256
1256:       def prototype
1257:         @prototype ||= new
1258:       end

[Source]

      # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 1130
1130:       def put(path, opts={}, &bk)     route 'PUT',     path, opts, &bk end

[Source]

      # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 1233
1233:       def quit!(server, handler_name)
1234:         # Use Thin's hard #stop! if available, otherwise just #stop.
1235:         server.respond_to?(:stop!) ? server.stop! : server.stop
1236:         puts "\n== Sinatra has ended his set (crowd applauds)" unless handler_name =~/cgi/i
1237:       end

Register an extension. Alternatively take a block from which an extension will be created and registered on the fly.

[Source]

      # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 1208
1208:       def register(*extensions, &block)
1209:         extensions << Module.new(&block) if block_given?
1210:         @extensions += extensions
1211:         extensions.each do |extension|
1212:           extend extension
1213:           extension.registered(self) if extension.respond_to?(:registered)
1214:         end
1215:       end

Run the Sinatra app as a self-hosted server using Thin, Mongrel or WEBrick (in that order)

[Source]

      # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 1241
1241:       def run!(options={})
1242:         set options
1243:         handler      = detect_rack_handler
1244:         handler_name = handler.name.gsub(/.*::/, '')
1245:         puts "== Sinatra/#{Sinatra::VERSION} has taken the stage " +
1246:           "on #{port} for #{environment} with backup from #{handler_name}" unless handler_name =~/cgi/i
1247:         handler.run self, :Host => bind, :Port => port do |server|
1248:           [:INT, :TERM].each { |sig| trap(sig) { quit!(server, handler_name) } }
1249:           set :running, true
1250:         end
1251:       rescue Errno::EADDRINUSE => e
1252:         puts "== Someone is already performing on port #{port}!"
1253:       end

Access settings defined with Base.set.

[Source]

     # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 672
672:     def self.settings
673:       self
674:     end

      # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 1219
1219:       def test?;        environment == :test        end

Use the specified Rack middleware

[Source]

      # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 1228
1228:       def use(middleware, *args, &block)
1229:         @prototype = nil
1230:         @middleware << [middleware, args, block]
1231:       end

Public Instance methods

Rack call interface.

[Source]

     # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 632
632:     def call(env)
633:       dup.call!(env)
634:     end

Forward the request to the downstream app — middleware only.

[Source]

     # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 701
701:     def forward
702:       fail "downstream app not set" unless @app.respond_to? :call
703:       status, headers, body = @app.call(@request.env)
704:       @response.status = status
705:       @response.body = body
706:       @response.headers.merge! headers
707:       nil
708:     end

Exit the current block, halts any further processing of the request, and returns the specified response.

[Source]

     # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 688
688:     def halt(*response)
689:       response = response.first if response.length == 1
690:       throw :halt, response
691:     end

Pass control to the next matching route. If there are no more matching routes, Sinatra will return a 404 response.

     # File lib/sinatra/base.rb, line 696
696:     def pass(&block)
697:       throw :pass, block

Access settings defined with Base.set.
