Sinatra::LinkHeader

Sinatra::LinkHeader adds a set of helper methods to generate link HTML tags and their corresponding Link HTTP headers.

Usage

Once you had set up the helpers in your application (see below), you will be able to call the following methods from inside your route handlers, filters and templates:

`prefetch`	Sets the Link HTTP headers and returns HTML tags to prefetch the given resources.
`stylesheet`	Sets the Link HTTP headers and returns HTML tags to use the given stylesheets.
`link`	Sets the Link HTTP headers and returns the corresponding HTML tags for the given resources.
`link_headers`	Returns the corresponding HTML tags for the current Link HTTP headers.

Classic Application

In a classic application simply require the helpers, and start using them:

require "sinatra"
require "sinatra/link_header"

# The rest of your classic application code goes here...

Modular Application

In a modular application you need to require the helpers, and then tell the application you will use them:

require "sinatra/base"
require "sinatra/link_header"

class MyApp < Sinatra::Base
  helpers Sinatra::LinkHeader

  # The rest of your modular application code goes here...
end
