A fast-start boilerplate for Rails apps.

RTO+P Rails Boilerplate

This project is a fast-start boilerplate for creating basic Ruby on Rails projects. It's designed to be highly compatible with the common development practices at Red Tettemer O'Connell + Partners in Philadelphia.

What's included

• A boilerplate Gemfile with our most commonly used gems.
• HTML5 Boilerplate (with normalize.css, modernizr, and log() js function for IE-friendly console.loggin'.)
• SCSS-ified application.css
• A basic index action in a home controller.
• A good boilerplate .gitignore.
• AppEnv module for easier local dev/test config var access.
• App pre-configured to use the Unicorn HTTP server on Heroku with 3 workers per dyno.

What's NOT included

• ActiveAdmin: AA's been left out to keep this Boilerplate somewhat anti-opinionated early in the build. AA can be installed easily following instructions here.
• Devise: Had been part of ActiveAdmin's dependencies. Now, to use it, install the gem and follow the instructions here.

Getting Started

1. Rename your app. Run a full-project text search for "Boilerplate" and replace it with your app's namespace in every case except this README.
2. Create your database, run rake db:setup
3. Run your server: rails s
4. Proceed with building your app normally, without worrying about the more tedious and repetitive initial setup steps.

railsboilerplate's Issues

remove active admin from schema

The gem is now commented out but the columns are still in the schema.. Not a big deal just a clean up thing!

Underscore.js browser & terminal console errors

I keep seeing this error "ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches [GET] "/assets/other/underscore-min.map"):" in my console and even though it's harmless, it's just annoying...
This stackoverflow article says you can either take the line add or add that file..
