Rubyists.dev

Ruby on Rails application initialized with Hix on Rails.

System dependencies

• Ruby version: 2.6.6
• Rails version: 6.0.3.1
• Database: PostgreSQL
• Redis installed

Setup

bin/setup

How to start the app

Start the Ruby on Rails server with:

rails server

To run the webpack-dev-server, optional but recommended, launch another process with:

bin/webpack-dev-server

To run Sidekiq, launch another process with:

bundle exec sidekiq

I currently use Tmuxinator to do the above, but am happy to accept PR's to sample configs for your favorite tool (Foreman, Docker, teamocil, etc.).

Code quality, formatting, and linters

The application provides several code quality analysis tools and linters baked in. If they are important, they will be run as a CI check when commits are pushed. Otherwise, they are just nice to have. There will be a binstub or script in package.json you can use to run most of the tools. TL;DR Run bin/format before committing and you don't have to pay attention to anything else. If you are interested though:

Security

• Brakeman: A static analysis security vulnerability scanner for RoR

Performance

• Fasterer: CLI tool to suggest some speed improvements for Ruby
• Bullet: Help to kill N+1 queries and unused eager loading**
• Webpack Bundle Analyzer: Visualize size of webpack output files with an interactive zoomable treemap

DB

• [DatabaseConsistency]: A tool to find inconsistency between models schema and database constraints.
• lol_dba: Find DB columns that should be indexed
• erd: A Rails engine for drawing your apps ERD. View at /erd in development mode.**

Formatting & Linters

• Rails Best Practices
• Annotate*: Annotate Rails classes with schema and routes info
• ERB Lint*: Linter for your ERB & HTML files
• Model Probe*: Schema introspection for ActiveModel. Run with rails model_probe:probe[YourModelName]
• Prettier Standard*: Formats JS & CSS with Prettier and lints with ESLint+Standard
• StandardRB*: Ruby Style Guide, with linter & automatic code fixer
• StrongVersions*: Enforce a strict versioning policy in your Gemfile
• [ordinare][ordinate]: Ordinare sorts gems in your Gemfile alphabetically*

* Required to be run for merge. Running bin/format should auto-correct everything for you. The exception is Model Probe, which you will need to run yourself if you add a new model.
