Goals

Users familiar with rails should be able to build with this boilerplate without requiring extensive introduction.

• No DSL
• Avoid complex frontend functionality
• Simplicity over efficiency

Overview

• Baked in with multiple models eg.

  • Users
  • Roles
  • Plans
  • Subscriptions

• User authentication & authorization

  • Authentication through Devise
  • Use OmniAuth to extend authentication using providers
  • Authorization thought Pundit

• Background worker & scheduler

  • Using sidekiq and sidekiq-scheduler

• Role management

  • Supports standard roles available across spaces and also creating custom roles per space
  • Supports fine grained permissions per role

• Multiple user groups support

  • The Space model is used to represent a group i.e. can be a team, organization, group etc.
  • Example use case for turning on multi-space mode is a saas application
  • Example use case for turning off multi-space mode is an internal org tool

• Pre built UI layouts

  • High quality UI elements and layouts from Tabler

• Development focussed

  • Annotate - Annotate Rails classes with schema and routes info
  • Brakeman - A static analysis security vulnerability scanner
  • Byebug - Simple debugger
  • Dotenv - Load environment variables from .env
