Red Panthers Ruby on Rails project startup template
We have found that we are using and reusing a lot of gem and rails best practices over and over again in all our rails project. We have compiled them together in a single project so as to improve our time to get started on a project.
To start a new rails project using this starter template.
Example name of new project InvoiceDashboard
Step 1: Clone Project
git clone git@github.com:redpanthers/starter.git invoice_dashboardStep 2: Rename project
perl -e "s/Starter/InvoiceDashboard/g" -pi $(find . -type f)run ./bin/setup
or if you want to run step by step follow the below instruction.
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
cp config/secrets.yml.example config/secrets.yml
We use foreman to manage all our services. So to start the rails project run the following command.
foreman start -f Procfile.dev
We give a lot of importance to security when we build/maintain a rails application. The following gems are added to our project to detect our vulnerabilities before the hackers do.
| Name | Command to run |
|---|---|
| Bundler Audit | bundle audit |
| Ruby Audit | bundle exec ruby-audit |
| Brakeman | brakeman ./ |
