A rapid Rails (5.2 +) application template for personal use. This particular template utilizes Tailwind CSS, a utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development.
Tailwind depends on Webpack so this also comes bundled with webpacker support.
Inspired heavily by Jumpstart from Chris Oliver. Credits to him for a bunch here.
When creating a new rails app simply pass the template file through.
$ rails new sample_app -d <postgresql, mysql, sqlite> -m template.rb- Webpack support + Tailwind CSS configured in the
app/javascriptdirectory. - Devise with a new
usernameandnamefield already migrated in. Enhanced views using Tailwind CSS. - Support for Friendly IDs thanks to the handy friendly_id gem. Note that you'll still need to do some work inside your models for this to work. This template installs the gem and runs the associated generator.
- Foreman support thanks to a
Profile. Once you scaffold the template, runforeman startto initalize and head tolocahost:5000to getrails server,sidekiqandwebpack-dev-serverrunning all in one terminal instance. Note: Webpack will still compile down with justrails serverif you don't want to use Foreman. - A custom scaffold view template when generating theme resources (Work in progress).
- Git initialization out of the box
To utilize foreman with sidekiq noted above you'll need to install redis. The gem comes within a new rails application but it is commented out. Uncomment that line and run bundle install. It also might be handy to install redis on your machine (assuming you're on a mac) run brew install redis to install it. Then in a new terminal instance you can run redis-server.
After that is running, open a new terminal instance and finally run foreman start. Head to locahost:5000 to see your app. You'll have hot reloading on js and css and scss/sass files by default. Feel free to configure to look for more to compile reload as your app scales.
