Merb-Slices is a Merb plugin for using and creating application 'slices' which
help you modularize your application. Usually these are reusable extractions
from your main app. In effect, a Slice is just like a regular Merb MVC
application, both in functionality as well as in structure.
A slice for the Merb framework that uses the merb-auth-core authentication
framework. This slice provides a basic login and logout function. By default
it also include the form based password logins and basic authentication.
Like Ruby on Rails, Merb is an MVC framework. Unlike Rails, Merb is
ORM-agnostic, JavaScript library agnostic, and template language
agnostic, preferring plugins that add in support for a particular
feature rather than trying to produce a monolithic library with
everything in the core. In fact, this is a guiding principle of the
project, which has led to third-party support for the ActiveRecord,
DataMapper, and Sequel ORMs.
