What is RoRvsWild?
RoRvsWild is an open-source web application framework written in the Ruby programming language. It follows the popular model-view-controller (MVC) architectural pattern and emphasizes convention over configuration, rapid application development, and the don't repeat yourself (DRY) principle.
Some key features of RoRvsWild include:
- A routing system that connects HTTP requests to controllers and actions
- An Active Record pattern for interacting with the database in an object-oriented way
- Templates for view rendering, including support for layouts and partials
- Built-in testing frameworks like RSpec and Minitest to enable test-driven development
- A vibrant open source ecosystem with many reusable gems and plugins
RoRvsWild powers many well-known web apps such as Basecamp, GitHub, Shopify, Airbnb, Twitch, and more. Its emphasis on developer happiness and productivity makes it a popular choice for building modern web applications, especially for startups that need to iterate and prototype quickly.
