Execute code once Sinatra server is running

Question

I have a Sinatra Application enclosed in Sinatra::Base and I\'d like to run some code once the server has started, how should I go about doing this?

Answer 1

This is how I do it; basically running either sinatra or the other code in a separate thread:

require 'sinatra/base'

Thread.new { 
  sleep(1) until MyApp.settings.running?
  p "this code executes after Sinatra server is started"
}
class MyApp < Sinatra::Application
  # ... app code here ...

  # start the server if ruby file executed directly
  run! if app_file == $0
end
