Have you ever started a new adventure/hobby project of your and instead of spending time in solving the actual problem statement with the website ended up configuring the application and put a lot of effort into it. Yeah, We felt that too. Boring generator tries to resolve the painful same redundant configuration you do in every application by adding generators to easily configure it.

Check out the generator we support right now. We are planning to add support to most of the mostly used and required gems. We are open to any idea of yours, feel free to raise a discussion by opening up an issue or try contributing.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'boring_generators'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install boring_generators

And then you can use it this way:

$ boring generate boring:simple_form:install --css_framework=<css_framework>
$ boring g boring:pry:install

To see options provided by each generator with their descriptions and accepted values, you can hit the following command for example:

$ boring generate boring:simple_form:install --help

• How to use Boring Generators by Yaroslav Shmarov

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bundle exec rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

You can also run specific test cases using following commands:

bundle exec ruby -w -Itest test/generators/tailwind_install_generator_test.rb

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, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
