34
+ Instructions for installation:
35
+
36
+ file: config/init.rb
37
+
38
+ # add the slice as a regular dependency
39
+
40
+ dependency 'very-thin-test-slice'
41
+
42
+ # if needed, configure which slices to load and in which order
43
+
44
+ Merb::Plugins.config[:merb_slices] = { :queue => ["VeryThinTestSlice", ...] }
45
+
46
+ # optionally configure the plugins in a before_app_loads callback
47
+
48
+ Merb::BootLoader.before_app_loads do
49
+
50
+ Merb::Slices::config[:very_thin_test_slice][:option] = value
51
+
52
+ end
53
+
54
+ file: config/router.rb
55
+
56
+ # example: /very-thin-test-slice/:controller/:action/:id
57
+
58
+ add_slice(:VeryThinTestSlice)
59
+
60
+ # example: /foo/:controller/:action/:id
61
+
62
+ add_slice(:VeryThinTestSlice, 'foo') # same as :path => 'foo'
63
+
64
+ # example: /:lang/:controller/:action/:id (with :a param set)
65
+
66
+ add_slice(:VeryThinTestSlice, :path => ':lang', :params => { :a => 'b' })
67
+
68
+ # example: /:controller/:action/:id
69
+
70
+ slice(:VeryThinTestSlice)
71
+
72
+ Normally you should also run the following rake task:
73
+
74
+ rake slices:very_thin_test_slice:install

+ About Slices
79
+ ============
80
+
81
+ Merb-Slices is a Merb plugin for using and creating application 'slices' which
82
+ help you modularize your application. Usually these are reuseable extractions
83
+ from your main app. In effect, a Slice is just like a regular Merb MVC
84
+ application, both in functionality as well as in structure.
85
+
86
+ When you generate a Slice stub structure, a module is setup to serve as a
87
+ namespace for your controller, models, helpers etc. This ensures maximum
88
+ encapsulation. You could say a Slice is a mixture between a Merb plugin (a
89
+ Gem) and a Merb application, reaping the benefits of both.
90
+
91
+ A host application can 'mount' a Slice inside the router, which means you have
92
+ full over control how it integrates. By default a Slice's routes are prefixed
93
+ by its name (a router :namespace), but you can easily provide your own prefix
94
+ or leave it out, mounting it at the root of your url-schema. You can even
95
+ mount a Slice multiple times and give extra parameters to customize an
96
+ instance's behaviour.
97
+
98
+ A Slice's Application controller uses controller_for_slice to setup slice
99
+ specific behaviour, which mainly affects cascaded view handling. Additionaly,
100
+ this method is available to any kind of controller, so it can be used for
101
+ Merb Mailer too for example.
102
+
103
+ There are many ways which let you customize a Slice's functionality and
104
+ appearance without ever touching the Gem-level code itself. It's not only easy
105
+ to add template/layout overrides, you can also add/modify controllers, models
106
+ and other runtime code from within the host application.
107
+
108
+ To create your own Slice run this (somewhere outside of your merb app):
109
+
110
+ $ merb-gen slice <your-lowercase-slice-name>
