Hey,
I'm not sure I fully appreciate the best use(s) for Rack apps (e.g., Sinatra apps) in a Rails (3.1) application...
Scenario: I have in mind a bunch of RESTful controller actions linked to models -- all for providing an API.
Approach 1: handle each resource from its own mounted Rack app:
+ 'Rails 3 in Action' advises mounted rack apps for Rails APIs because they are *faster* + If I ever decide to split out the resources into their own individual rack apps, I will have the rack server code and associated tests already written
Approach 2: ignore the mounted app approach and separate out common controller behavior into an ActionController mixin and associated tests and configure for each resource
+ I've done this before, so I know it works, and won't take as much time as Approach 1, which will be new to me
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Lille
