Craft Academy Rails 5.2 Boilerplate

In order to get you started with Rails, we've set up a boilerplate application using the following setup:

• Rails 5.2
• Cucumber - acceptance testing framework
• RSpec - testing framework that we will be using for unit testing
• ShouldaMatchers - to simplify our testing in RSpec

Setup

1. Copy the url an clone the repository to you localhost

2. Open the config/application.rb and chage the application name from Boilerplate to whatever you want to call your application (i.e. SlowFoodOnline)

 

module SlowFoodOnline
  class Application < Rails::Application
  # ... code removed for readability.
end

3. Open the config/database.yml and change the database name from boilerplate_test, boilerplate_development, etc, to for example slow_food_test, slow_food_development and slowfood_production. Also, if you see a username set to boilerplate change that to slow_food as well (Again, if you use a different name for your app, make sure you follow the naming standard outlined in the examples above).

4. In your terminal, inside the project folder, run the following command to remove the Git original repository:

  $ rm -rf .git  

5. And initiate a new repository (that will give you a clean state and history)

$ git init

6. Now, head over to GitHub and create a new repository on your account. Copy the repo url, and add it as your origin remote.

$ git remote add origin <your repo url>

7. Run bundle install and rails db:create db:migrate in your terminal (in the project folder)

8. Commit and push to your remote.

This should give you a clean repo history.
