Allele

A Ruby on Rails app template for even rapid-er prototyping.

Get started

To create a fresh app from the Allele template with a remote environment on Heroku, simply run:

rails new app_name -d mysql -m https://raw.github.com/madebymany/allele/master/allele.rb

What's included

• Authentication from Devise
• A front-end framework in the shape of Bootstrap
• Image uploads with Carrierwave and file storage on S3 via Fog
• Save time on basic CRUD methods with Inherited Resources
• Neat and easy to code forms with Simple Form
• Premailer and MailView takes a lot of hassle out of handling HTML emails
• ExceptionNotifier lets you know when a user breaks something
• Free server ops from Heroku and application mailers from SendGrid

Note: we add a nofollow, noindex tag and and disallow in robots.txt by default

Need more?

For basic authorisation with cancan and content management with activeadmin run:

rails generate allele_admin

Check out the Wiki for some more quick 'n' dirty functionality.

Rails 4

While Rails 4 is now a stable release, many of the gems we rely on are not, roadmap:

• Move to Rails 4 once ActiveAdmin and SimpleForm cut reliable releases
• ...then write a Sir-Trevor V3 generator
