initialize rails project

[skamansam]

We need to initialize the project with the latest version of rails, using the API settings. See https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/api_app.html for how to do this. The project name should be the same as this repo's name. The resulting README should contain at least the project name and the description as it is currently in the README.

I am confused about making the project.
Is it project like a folder inside the repo?

I found this link https://blog.jasonmeridth.com/posts/create-rails-application-in-current-directory/ which sloves my issue

I am confused
I do not know what I need to do
I thought the link is gonna be the answer, yet I cannot make new project by rails new . --api

see documentation for the rails command line tools here: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/command_line.html . After initializing the app, add the git remote (this repo) by following the directions here: https://help.github.com/en/github/using-git/adding-a-remote

also, it may be easier to init webpack with vue, using the --webpack=vue option for rails new

It seems we need to not use the --api flag if we want to keep the frontend and backend together. We can work around it, but it may be easier for now, to skip this flag.

Even though I have already known all those commands , I went through the link found nothing new. As you see in following pic, I added to repo and beside there is not huge difference between git remote add vs git clone because I did git clone

I feel you want me to make project QuestLists inside BizziQuest folder?

You mentioned creating a Rails app in the current directory. This is probably not the best practice and is more difficult than adding a git remote. You can put the git repo wherever you want, but the rails app should be the top directory in the repo. All you really need to do is issue the following commands:

gem install rails && rails new --webpack=vue quest_lists
cd quest_lists
git add remote origin https://github.com/BizziQuest/QuestLists.git
git checkout -b "1-init-rails-project"
git add .
git commit -m "initialized rails app"
git push origin

first, I realized I had a rails project inside my folder so when I deleted them I was able to create new rails app.
I was able to create rails app by runningrails new quest_lists --webpack=vue
and git remote add origin https://github.com/BizziQuest/QuestLists.git
I commit everything and git push origin as well.
FYI, I never created any project this way :)
