Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Rails template

Using this template in your application:

$ rails --database mysql myapp
$ cd myapp
$ rm -r README test     # we use RSpec rather than Test::Unit
$ git init
$ git add .
$ git commit -m 'Auto-generated Rails project'
$ git remote add saas git@github.com:ept/saas-template.git
$ git pull saas master

Resolve any merge conflicts, then do git commit -a. When that is done, make sure git has downloaded all required submodules:

$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update

Create databases myapp_development and myapp_test (or whatever you called the app), tweak database config if necessary.

Add the following to config/environment.rb just after the require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'boot') line:

# Include our custom configuration parameters (see lib/environment_config.rb)
require 'environment_config'

and in the same file inside the Rails::Initializer.run block:

config.gem "rubyist-aasm", :lib => 'aasm', :source => "http://gems.github.com"
config.gem "fastercsv"
config.active_record.observers = :mailing_observer

Add the following to config/initializers/mime_types.rb:

Mime::Type.register "text/csv", :csv

Add the following to config/environments/development.rb:

# Do not redirect to HTTPS URLs during development
config.https_login = false

# Set the base domain name under which our site is hosted
config.domain_name = 'example.local'

Add the following to config/environments/test.rb:

# Do not redirect to HTTPS URLs while testing
config.https_login = false

# Set the base domain name under which our site is hosted
config.domain_name = 'test.host'

Add the following to config/environments/production.rb:

# People to pester if an unhandled exception occurs
ExceptionNotifier.exception_recipients = %w(admin@example.com)

# Set this to true if you want the login form to redirect to a https:// URL
config.https_login = false

# Set the base domain name under which our site is hosted
config.domain_name = 'example.com' # Set to your real domain name!

Edit config/initializers/site_keys.rb and change the value for REST_AUTH_SITE_KEY to something unique and random.

Run script/console and run the following code to ensure the fixtures are regenerated for your new site key:

def secure_digest(*args)
  Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(args.flatten.join('--'))
end

def make_token
  secure_digest(Time.now, (1..10).map{ rand.to_s })
end

def password_digest(password, salt)
  digest = REST_AUTH_SITE_KEY
  REST_AUTH_DIGEST_STRETCHES.times do
    digest = secure_digest(digest, salt, password, REST_AUTH_SITE_KEY)
  end
  digest
end

def options
  {:include_activation => true, :stateful => true}
end

f=File.new('vendor/plugins/restful_authentication/generators/authenticated/templates/spec/fixtures/users.yml', 'r')
contents=f.read
rendered = ERB.new(contents, nil, '-').result.gsub(/login/, 'name')
File.open('spec/fixtures/users.yml', 'w'){|f| f.write(rendered)}

Edit config/routes.rb and add the following (assuming you have a marketing site exposed by a controller called AboutController):

map.logout   '/logout',   :controller => 'sessions',  :action => 'destroy'
map.login    '/login',    :controller => 'sessions',  :action => 'new'
map.register '/register', :controller => 'users',     :action => 'create'
map.signup   '/signup',   :controller => 'customers', :action => 'new'
map.welcome  '/welcome',  :controller => 'customers', :action => 'dashboard'
map.forgotten_password '/forgotten_password', :controller => 'users', :action => 'forgotten_password'

map.resources :customers, :collection => {:welcome => :any, :choose => :get}

map.resources :users, :member => {:impersonate => :any}

map.resource :session

# You can have the root of your site routed with map.root -- just remember to delete public/index.html.
# For the top-level site we want the about controller, else we want the customers controller
#
# TODO: would be nicer to patch request_routing to interact with subdomain-fu and allow :subdomain => false
map.root :controller => "about", :conditions => { :subdomain => nil}       # http://localhost/
map.root :controller => "about", :conditions => { :subdomain => "example"} # http://example.com/
if %w(production development).include? RAILS_ENV
  map.root :controller => "about", :conditions => { :subdomain => "www"}   # http://www.example.com/
end
map.root :controller => "customers" # customer subdomains

# Default routes
map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'
map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format'

# Map tokens to http://example.com/tokencode -- must be the last entry in routes.rb, after default routes
map.connect ':code', :controller => 'tokens', :action => 'show'

Edit config/environments/production.rb and add:

# Set this to true if you want the login form to redirect to a https:// URL
config.https_login = false

# Set the base domain name under which our site is hosted
config.domain_name = 'example.com'

Edit config/environtments/development.rb and add:

# Do not redirect to HTTPS URLs during development
config.https_login = false

# This name (and several subdomains of it) should be placed in your /etc/hosts, e.g:
# 127.0.0.1 example.local www.example.local foo.example.local bar.example.local
config.domain_name = 'example.local'

On your development machine, edit /etc/hosts and add a line like:

127.0.0.1 example.local www.example.local foo.example.local bar.example.local baz.example.local

You may also need to edit app/models/customer.rb and add your domain name there (example if your full domain name is example.com).

Edit config/database.yml: add &TEST to the line test: and append the following two lines:

cucumber:
  <<: *TEST

Then run the tests:

$ rake db:migrate
$ rake spec
$ rake features

That should be everything up and running!

If your app/views/layouts does not yet exist you will get some errors running cucumber (rake features). You can fix them by adding a simple app/views/layouts/application.html.erb, like the following:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

  </head>
  <body>
    <p style="color: green" id="flashNotice"><%= flash[:notice] %></p>
    <p style="color: red" id="flashError"><%= flash[:error] %></p>
    <%= yield %>
  </body>
</html>
