Rails + Hotwire Template

CI Code Climate Test Coverage

Rails + Hotwire Base is a boilerplate project for full-stack Rails apps with a modern SPA-like experience. It follows the community best practices in terms of standards, security and maintainability, integrating a variety of testing and code quality tools. It's based on Rails 6 and Ruby 3.0.

Finally, it contains a plug and play Administration console (thanks to ActiveAdmin).

Optional configuration

Hotwire with Redis

Turbo Streams uses Action Cable to deliver asynchronous updates to subscribers. This feature allows the user to receive live updates through websockets.

Action Cable relies on redis as subscription adapter for production environment.

With just a little configuration you can make it work.

# config/cable.yml

production:
  adapter: redis
  url: <%= ENV.fetch("REDIS_URL") { "redis://localhost:6379/1" } %>

Code quality

With rails code_analysis you can run the code analysis tool, you can omit rules with:

Configuring Code Climate

  1. After adding the project to CC, go to Repo Settings
  2. On the Test Coverage tab, copy the Test Reporter ID
  3. Set the current value of CC_TEST_REPORTER_ID in the CI project env variables

Code Owners

You can use CODEOWNERS file to define individuals or teams that are responsible for code in the repository.

Code owners are automatically requested for review when someone opens a pull request that modifies code that they own.
