Angular Rails Template

What is this?

A barebones template for generating Rails 5 applications with an Angular frontend.

The template must be run with the --skip-javascript flag and allows you to add frontend dependencies using package.json.

Requirements

• Rails 5.0.x
• Node

Usage

Start by cloning the template and changing into the project directory.

git clone https://github.com/jjlangholtz/angular_rails_template.git
cd angular_rails_template

For now it is probably simpler to specify an absolute path when generating a new Rails application using this template.

To generate a Rails application, pass the -m option to rails new, like this:

rails new ~/path/to/name_of_app --skip-javascript -m template.rb

As a smoketest, you should be able to see Hello, World! after running the server.

cd ~/path/to/name_of_app
bin/rails server
