Senro

Senro is a Ruby Controller and Views framework that uses a Postgresql database. Senro was inspired by Ruby on Rails. The word "Senro" is a japanese term for "train line".

Key Features

SenroController

Controllers that inherit from SenroController have the following methods:

• render(template_name): renders a template within the views folder with the corresponding controller name.
• render_content(content, content_type): renders using a custom content type.
• redirect_to(url): redirects to the specified url.
• session: accesses the session hash containing the session cookie.
• flash and flash.now: accesses the hash containing errors that persist through the next session and the current session, respectively.

You can also add protect_from_forgery to your custom controllers to protect from CSRF attacks. Add the following input tag to your form:

  <input type="hidden"
  name="authenticity_token"
  value="<%= form_authenticity_token %>">

Then, by having protect_from_forgery in your custom controllers, Senro will check for the above authenticity token.

Router

The Router can be used to map routes between the controllers and the views.

router = Router.new
router.draw do
  get Regexp.new("^/movies$"), MoviesController, :index
  post Regexp.new("^/movies$"), MoviesController, :create
  get Regexp.new("^/movies/(?<movie_id>\\d+)/Actors$"), ActorsController, :index
end

Added Rack Middleware

• Exceptions were added to provide a detailed description of the Ruby source error. This was intended to provide information to developers in the development environment.

• Static were added to allow for the rendering of a static asset from the /public folder. Currently, .jpg, .png, .htm, .html, .txt, and .zip extensions are supported.
