How can I run sinatra inside existing rails application?

Question

I've got a rails application it contains web interface and api.

I want to rewrite api using sinatra. I want all requests to "/api/..." to be handled by sinatra and ignored by rails.

Is that possible?

Answer 1

Yes it is possibile. See mount. With that you can do something like:

FooApp::Application.routes.draw do
  root :to => 'welcome#index'
  mount FooAppApi => "/api" 
end
