Creation

creation allows to create customized Rails applications for rapid prototyping, with the exact integrations that we need. creation is an opinionated software, and curretly, provides the following customizations:

activates rspec for testing
activates pry-rails for easy debugging
adds home page using high_voltage
adds twitter bootstrap for frontend framework via bootstrap-generators
sets up and activates activeadmin for admin backend
sets up, activates pundit for authorization, and adds certain policies
sets up and activates sidekiq for background processing of queues

Installation

Install it yourself as:

$ gem install creation

Usage

creation is based upon the default rails command, and adds the above mentioned integrations/features on top of it. You can see a list of all such features by running: creation help.

Note that, each of the above integrations/features have a corresponding command to disable that particular feature. --skip-bundle should not be used with this gem, however, the option still exists and works as expected, but several customizations done by creation gem require gems to be bundled, and hence, some of these customizations will be skipped.

ActiveAdmin Integration

To create a new Rails application, along with activeadmin, pundit, frontend with twitter bootstrap based layout, sidekiq and rspec, you can simply, run:

creation new test_app

To create a new Rails application that uses root namespace for activeadmin (i.e. http://localhost:3000 will be the activeadmin instance), you can run:

creation new test_app --admin-namespace=

To mount actievadmin to somewhere else (say: /backend), you can run:

creation new test_app --admin-namespace=backend

This integration uses user model as default user for activeadmin. You can change that to say member model, by running:

creation new test_app --admin-user=member

Other integrations

# do not install sidekiq
creation new test_app --skip-sidekiq

# do not install rspec

# do not install pundit
creation new test_app --skip-pundit

# do not install active_admin
creation new test_app --skip-active-admin

# do not use twitter bootstrap
creation new test_app --skip-bootstrap

# do not create a home page
creation new test_app --skip-home-page

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment. Run bundle exec creation to use the code located in this directory, ignoring other installed copies of this gem.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release to create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
