Embedding Dylan in Rails 3.x

Embedding Dylan in Rails 3.x is easy:

• Create file called app/dylan/blog.rb
• Create a template app/views/blog/index.html.erb
• Mount Blog in the router.

blog.rb

class Blog < Dylan
  get '/' do
    render 'blog/index.html.erb'
  end
end

index.html.erb

<h1>This is a blog!</h1>

routes.rb

My::Application.routes.draw do |map|
  # ...
  match '/blog/*', :to => Blog.new(:templates => Rails.root + 'app/views')
  # ...
end

Hm… Where can I find Dylan?

Well you can find it here: http://github.com/fd/dylan

The goal of Dylan is to provide a more atomic dispatcher/controller layer that forces
developers to deal with a single resource (a collection or member) at a time.
This could potentially solve the complicated problem of cache invalidation.

I'm still just experimenting but may be it will actually become a valid project.
