Rails Template

This repository contains a rails application template. This will create and setup a general rails application with React. Rvm must be installed to manage the application's gems. The template assumes the .railsrc file is present and the flags are used during creation of a new rails application.

Pre Steps

• Install and configure rvm with your desired version of ruby.
• Change terminal directory to the location you will be storing your application.
• Create a gemset on your desired ruby version and set it as current. Spell it the same as you will be spelling the name of your rails application.
  • $ rvm use <RUBY-VERSION>@<APPNAME> --create
• Install the rails gem. This is needed when you run $ rails new ...
  • $ gem install rails

Usage Steps

1. Ensure the Pre Steps have been completed and your environment is setup.
2. Run rails new with the template. Use the command that fits your needs

• Using a .railsrc file:
  • $ rails new <APPNAME> -m <THIS TEMPLATE SRC>
• Not using a .railsrc file:
  • $ rails new <APPNAME> --database=postgresql --skip-test --skip-turbolinks --webpack=react --skip-coffee -m <THIS TEMPLATE SRC>

3. Follow the cli input instructions
