README

Template for new Rails projects.

Getting started

To get going clone this repository and perform the following steps:

  1. Clone this repository
  2. You can now run scripts/setup, which will help you in configuring the template. Alternatively perform all of the following steps manually.
  3. Change application name in config/application.rb.
  4. Update database.yml to reflect the new application name.
  5. Update TODO items in config/environments/production.rb.
  6. If you plan on using Figaro, copy config/application.yml.example to config/application.yml.
  7. ESLint is preconfigured for modern JS with React support (AirBnB styleguide). If you want to use it install packages with npm install, otherwise remove .eslintrc and package.json.
  8. If you don't plan on tracking the template, you can remove the .git directory. Otherwise you can rename the remote:
    $ git remote rename origin rails_new
  9. Add your new remote as appropriate.

Optional configurations

  • If you want to use AirBrake, make sure the following 2 environment variables are set:
    • AIRBRAKE_PROJECT_ID
    • AIRBRAKE_API_KEY
  • New Relic is pre configured in config/newrelic.yml, but you need to comment in the environment variables for it work on Heroku (lines 10 and 17).
