Ruby on Rails 6 template to start projects faster

Rails application template

Create Rails app prepared for confortable coding in a second.

This configuration is full of opinions.

It doesn't define what database to use, that's the responsibility of your ~/.railsrc file.

Usage

Run rails new command with -m option and point to location of the template file, like this:

rails new project_name -m https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kolomeetz/rails_template/master/template.rb

But even a better idea could be configuring Rails defaults with ~/.railsrc file with something like that:

--database=postgresql
--webpack
--skip-coffee
--skip-turbolinks
--template=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kolomeetz/rails_template/master/template.rb

With this file rails new command becomes nice and slick:

rails new project_name

Added gems

Development and testing gems added:

• annotate to add model annotations as comments in the beginning of model files
• bullet for detecting N+1 queries errors
• factory_bot to create objects for testing
• faker to generate fake data in tests
• guard to run tests automatically
• rspec for writing unit tests
• rubocop to check code style
• simplecov to check code coverage

Gems for production:

• lograge to make requests logging nice and tidy

Differences from Rails defaults

In development:

• config.active_record.verbose_query_logs is set to false to hide noisy logs

Plans

• add Makefile with basic dev env commands
• add factory_bot for fixtures
• add --skip-test to railsrc
• add Circle CI configuration
• add Dockerfile with production-like configuration
• add docker-compose for development
