Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1

npm install grunt-sinatra --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-sinatra');

The "sinatra" task

Overview

The sinatra:serve task can run without configuration by default, it will run rackup on the project root, serving the files on the port 9292.

####Sinatra:serve Launches the server and whenever the the parent process ends, it terminates the server.

####Sinatra:start Launches the server and leaves it running even when the parent process is no longer running.

####Sinatra:kill Terminates an already running server.

###Options pidFile

Type: String Default: '/tmp/sinatraServer.pid'

Path to the pid file in case you wanna run the server by itself.
