Opinionated Rails Generator

Recently I made long overdue updates to a Rails app generator I’ve been using on and off since 2009. The choices have changed over the years, but they aren’t shocking. Nothing you couldn’t do yourself, but it may save you a few minutes. Depending on your needs, check out the Generator or the Output. And please let me know if you see something you think is outdated or an anti-pattern.

Generates a Rails 6 application with these choices:

• PostgreSQL database
• Bootstrap V5 front-end toolkit
• Devise authentication
• Pundit authorization
• Slim templating engine
• RSpec & Cucumber testing
• Bullet N+1 detection
• FactoryBot test data
• Kaminari pagination
• Ransack search
• MetaTags SEO
• Pry console
• Gravatar with fallback to LetterAvatar
• RuboCop & ESLint linters, with Prettier formatting
• Model annotation
• Code coverage
• Ready for cloud deploy at Heroku
