💭 Philosophy

We believe programming should spark joy. Even (especially!) the beginnings. We made railsnew.io to bring back the joy to rails app creation - whenever you want to play around with a new idea or jumps start your new project you should be able to start off with a smile instead of a grin on your face and frustration. Our aim was to get you to the fun part in just a matter of couple of clicks.

New Rails app generation has never been so easy - no headaches, just relax and take a cup of ☕ before your next Rails journey! 🎉 railsnew.io will take the heavy lifting for you so you can focus the essence rather than the noise. Think about it as your personal Rails prep chef! 🧑‍🍳

How it works

Sometimes generating a new Rails app can really be a pain in the ass. No more! 🧙🏻 Check out a quick demo for a quick example of how railsnew.io works.

1. ⚾️ Choose your base
2. 🏏 Add extras (or not)
3. ☕️ Lean back and enjoy!

That's it really.

Setting up a new Menu Card

1. In the InitialSetupController#index action, edit the following two hashes:

   • @omakase_state - describes how the app is configured during the initial load. For example, this bit:

   database_choice: {
     SQLite: true,
     Postgres: false,
     MySQL: false
   }
   

   means that SQLite is going to be the default database choice. If you'd like to add a new database option, you would do it here.

   Do not change rails_flags_config (these are the 'standard' Rails flags, so they are always going to be here), but feel free to add further (sensible) menu cards as a child hash.

   • @state_translation - describes what happens when a checkbox/radio button is in a certain state. For example:

   guest_favorites: {
     spring: { true => '', false => '--skip-spring' },
     listen: { true => '', false => '--skip-listen' },
     bootsnap: { true => '', false => '--skip-bootsnap'}
   }
   

   This means that if the 'spring' checkbox is checked, its output will be '' (empty string); if it's not checked, the output will be '--skip-spring'. In other words, unchecking the 'spring' checkbox will result in '--skip-spring' being added to the output.

2. If you created a new menu card, you'll need to create a component for it.

   In the case of a chexbox menu card, create the component and it's view in app/components/main/checkbox/your_component.rb and app/components/main/checkbox/your_component.html.erb, respectively.

   If it's a radio menu card, the correct place to put the component files is app/components/main/radio_button/your_component.rb, resp. app/components/main/radio_button/your_component.html.erb

   Check the contents of the other card components to see how they are set up

3. Render the component if you created a new one (in case you edited an existing one, you don't need to do anything).

   in app/views/initial_setup/index.html.erb, render your component with

   <%= render Tabs::Main::MenuCards::Checkbox::WhateverMyComponentDoes::Component.new(initial_state: @initial_state, state_translation: @state_translation) %>
   

4. If you created a new menu card, update the system test named 'Changing an item on every menu card is reflected in the command line output' (not specifying the file name on purpose, as it is subject to change at the time of writing).
