Rails Application Template

Base template for creating Ruby-on-Rails applications

Current version: 0.1.2

How to use

1. Download or clone the template
2. Set your ruby version and gemset

   $ rvm use 2.3.0@myapp --create

3. Install rails gem for the gemset

   $ gem install rails -v 'your_rails_version'

4. Simply use the template when you are creating your application

   $ rails new myapp -m /path/to/template/bootstrap.rb

5. Have fun with your application

Customization

Template uses config.yml file for installing and configuring rails gems and other stuff. The list of statements that will help you to customize your own template are given below.

1. The configuration file consists of several blocks like. They divide the application generation process into some logic parts.

   rvm: ...
   testing: ...
   documentation: ...
   deploy: ...

2. The main part of each block is gems. So if you want more gems to be added to your project just add a new block with any name, which suits your aim with appropriate gems block or add your gems to any existing block.

    testing:
      gems:
        faker: true
        rspec-rails:
          group: test, development
        factory_girl_rails:
          version: ~> 4.8
          group: test, development

   You can use just true value for a gem. In this case the gem will be added to Gemfile like

   gem 'faker'

   You can also pass version and/or group params and they will be used in Gemfile either

   gem 'factory_girl_rails', '~> 4.8', group: [:test, :development]

3. Each block can run his own runner from runners folder if one exists. There you can put any code you want to execute, i.e.

   create_file '.ruby-version', RUBY_VERSION
   create_file '.ruby-gemset', app_name
   file '.rvmrc', "rvm use #{RUBY_VERSION}@#{app_name}"

4. If you need to make some actions after gem is added, i.e. run rails generate rspec:install you can put callback to the runner that will be executed after gem is added. By convention callback name depends on gem name and should look like this

   "#{your_gem_name.gsub('-', '_')}_callback"

   So, for rspec-rails the full configuration will look like that

   # config.yml
   testing:
     gems:
       rspec-rails:
         group: test, development

   # runners/testing.rb
   def rspec_rails_callback
     generate('rspec:install')
   end

TODOs

1. Add gitignore with appropriate file exclusions
2. Implement a convenient way for user logins and passwords injecting to initializers
3. Add more configurations to capistrano
