RailsVault, is a leaderboard of the top Ruby on Rails starter repos
Missing a Ruby on Rails starter repo here? Just fork the repo and add your starter project
as a <name>.md in the source/projects folder.
Make sure to follow the following rules:
- Ruby on Rails Starter: The ideal starter is either a for Production starter or a hack-it-really-fast perfect for an MVP starter.
- Open Source: The project must be released under an open source license.
- Accessible on GitHub: The project must have a public repository on GitHub that we can link to and pull in stats from.
- Stick to the format: Fill out all the same fields as the other Ruby on Rails projects in
source/projects.
RailsValut is built with Middleman. To install and run locally:
git clone git@github.com:heyspacetime/rails-vault.git
cd rails-vault
bundle install (requires ruby 2.1.2 to work w/o errors)
bundle exec middleman
You'll run into GitHub's API limits very quickly if you just do this. To avoid this we recommend you create a Github API token with permissions to access public repositories and Gist.
Then create a Gist with a single file data.json with an empty javascript object literal as content: {}
Then set these environment variables before running middleman:
export GITHUB_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN
export GIST_ID=ID_OF_YOUR_GIST
Then middleman will use the Gist you specified to archive stats (stars, forks and issues) for the repositories.
