Strappy – Choosy

Bootstrap a Rails 2.3 app with a template

What does this thing have in it

• Haml 2.1
• Haml views
• Sass stylesheets
• jQuery 1.3
• jQueryUI 1.5
• Blackbird for UI debugging
• CC.rb rake task
• Capistrano with Staging and Production environments
• A defualt ‘home’ controller in place of index.html
• A strappy rake task to install commonly used plugins (lifted from Bort)

Admittedly this thing kind of steps out side of the box in what I believe they
intended application templates to do by bringing in controllers and specs.

gems

• GemTools to manage gems and versions
• SiteConfig to manage the app congiguration
• RSpec for testing
• Rcov to help make sure you are testing
• WillPaginate for pagination
• ExposeModel to tidy up your controllers and views

plugins

• jRails to handle jQuery

Authentication

Choose your option from:

• A ready to go Authlogic app, with password resets
• A ready to go Clearance app
• A ready to go restful_authentication app
• Or none of the above

If you choose Clearance you will be given the option to choose a different
hashing algorithm. The options are SHA512 or BCrypt (requires a gem), the
default is SHA1
