Getting Started

Clone this repo:

git clone [email protected]:iron-io/heroku_sinatra_example.git

Now cd into the directory:

cd heroku_sinatra_example

Install required gems:

sudo bundle install

Now create a heroku app for it (this assumes you're already logged into heroku):

heroku create --stack cedar

Ok, now we're ready to run on Heroku, but first we need to add the Iron.io Add-ons:

heroku addons:add iron_worker:starter
heroku addons:add iron_mq:rust

Grab your IronWorker project id and token from:

heroku config

And put them in a file in this directory called iron.json in this format:

{
    "project_id":"PROJECT_ID",
    "token":"TOKEN"
}

Upload the worker:

iron_worker upload workers/TweetWorker

Then just push to heroku!

git push heroku master

Live Demo

Here's a live running example of this app: http://evening-planet-3202.herokuapp.com/

Development

To run in development, you need a token and project_id from your Iron.io account. Login at http://www.iron.io to get it.

Then start this sinatra app using this command, replacing my_token and my_project_id with your credentials:

IRON_WORKER_TOKEN=my_token IRON_WORKER_PROJECT_ID=my_project_id rackup -p 3000 config.ru
