Jumpstart Pro Rails Template

All your Rails apps should start off with a bunch of great defaults. It's like Laravel Spark, for Rails.

Note: Requires Rails 5.2 or higher

Getting Started

Jumpstart Pro is a preconfigured Rails application, so you can either download the code or clone this repository and add your own repo as a remote to merge in updates.

Requirements

You'll need the following installed to run the template successfully:

• Ruby 2.6 or higher
• bundler - gem install bundler
• Redis - For ActionCable support (and Sidekiq, caching, etc)
• PostgreSQL - brew install postgresql
• Imagemagick - brew install imagemagick
• Yarn - brew install yarn or Install Yarn
• Foreman (optional) - gem install foreman - helps run all your processes in development
• Stripe CLI for Stripe webhooks in development - brew install stripe/stripe-cli/stripe

Initial Setup

First, you'll want to tweak config/database.yml and change the database name. You can also rename the app in the Jumpstart admin UI which updates the app name in the navbar, footer, etc.

Optionally, you can rename the application name in config/application.rb. This won't affect anything, so it's not too important.

Next, you can run bin/setup to install Rubygem and Javascript dependencies. This will also install foreman system wide for you and setup your database.

Running Jumpstart Pro

If you're using foreman: foreman start

Otherwise, you'll need to spin up several processes in different terminals:

rails server

# Your background workers
sidekiq # or whatever you're using

# Optionally, the webpack dev server for automatically reloading JS and CSS changes
bin/webpack-dev-server

# Stripe requires webhooks for SCA payments
stripe listen --forward-to localhost:5000/webhooks/stripe
