Excellent!
Camping uses Rack, so it should be very simple to get it running on
any Ruby web server. Just create a config.ru like this:
require 'list'
List.create if List.respond_to?(:create) # call List.create if it exists
run List # and run the app!
Then you can start it with: `thin start` (when you're in the app directory)
One thing you'll have to remember is that any exceptions which are
raised, won't be rescued inside Camping, but rather be raised all the
way up. Thin (hopefully) catches it somewhere, but you should probably
handle it yourself:
module List
def r500(klass, method, exception)
# Do some funky things
"There was an exception in #{klass}.#{method}: #{exception}"
end
end
You could also use something like http://hoptoadapp.com/ (they have
free plans) which gives you a nice dashboard and sends you an email
every time an exception is raised. Just create an account, run `gem
install toadhopper` and add this to your app:
require 'toadhopper'
module List
ExceptionHandler = Toadhopper.new("YOUR API KEY")
def r500(klass, method, exception)
# Send the exception to Hoptoad:
ExceptionHandler.post!(exception)
# Render something for the user. You would probably want to render some XML
# so the client knows something went wrong.
"There was an exception in #{klass}.#{method}: #{exception}"
end
end
