Rails Template+, powered by Le Wagon

A template for Rails 8, intended to help you quickly build apps for production with a set of helpful gems. Inspired heavily by Le Wagon's Rails Devise template.

For the Rails 7 template please check the rails-7 branch. For the Rails 6 template please check the rails-6 branch.

Prerequisites:

• Node JS
• A code editor, like VS Code
• Github CLI

Usage

1. To generate the templates, run the following command:

rails new \
  --css=bootstrap \
  -T \
  -m https://raw.githubusercontent.com/naokimi/lewagon-rails-template-plus/master/template.rb \
  CHANGE_THIS_TO_YOUR_RAILS_APP_NAME

(Rails 8 has been designed for sqlite3. Remémber to pass -d <database> is you want to use a different database.)

Run your generated application with ./bin/dev
