= Retweet: A Twitter Application Template

A base application template for building simple Twitter web apps with Sinatra and DataMapper. If you just want to build a simple keyword-based aggregator (such as http://tweetdreams.org), all you need to do is edit environment.rb to set the name of your app and the API search keyword(s), edit the CSS, and go.

== Configuration

Dependencies and all configuration is done in environment.rb. Your database is also set up here. DataMapper will use sqlite3 by default. Tests use the sqlite3-memory adapter (no configuration needed).

Add your controller actions in application.rb. Views for these actions are placed in the views directory. Static files, including a stock stylesheet, go in the public directory. Models go in the lib directory and are auto-loaded. 

== Testing

Rspec is included in the template. Add your specs in spec; just require spec_helper.rb to pre-configure the test environment. To run the specs:

  rake spec

== Getting Started

  rake db:migrate

  rake twitter:update

  ruby application.rb

== Status Updates

Run rake twitter:update to update the cached tweets. You can schedule this as a cron job to fire every few minutes if you like.
