I'm brand new to Ruby as a web platform, and I’m best involved in adapting and expanding my examples. I like Sinatra and I want to use it and Chartkick to display charts. Unfortunately, I had problems running even the most trivial example, and there seems to be a lack of complete examples (many "one liner"). Here is what I have:
require 'sinatra'
require 'chartkick'
get '/' do
'<%= javascript_include_tag "//www.google.com/jsapi", "chartkick" %>
<%= pie_chart({"Football" => 10, "Basketball" => 5}) %>'
end
So what am I implausible? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank!
EDIT, my decision is based on the accepted answer:
require 'sinatra'
require 'chartkick'
template :layout do
<<LAYOUT
<html>
<head>
<title>Sinatra ERB Chartkick Test</title>
<script src="//www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script src="chartkick.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<%= yield %>
</body>
</html>
LAYOUT
end
template :index do
<<INDEX
<center>
<h1>
<p>
<%= pie_chart({"Football" => 10, "Basketball" => 5, "Hockey" => 2}) %>
</p>
</center>
INDEX
end
get '/' do
erb :index
end
Also, for beginners (like me), I put the chartkick.js file in a shared folder. Hockey has also been added to make sure that it is not magically inappropriate for some canned foods. And who doesn't like hockey?
