Generapp

A Rails app template to jump start your project with some of Koombea's best practices and recommendations.

Install it yourself as:

$ gem install generapp

Just run:

generapp my_project

This will create a Rails app in my_project using the latest version of Ruby and Rails.

To see the latest gems, look at Generapp's Gemfile, which will be used as the project's Gemfile.

Application gems included:

• Devise for user authentication
• Dalli for memcached client
• Honeybadger for reporting errors to honeybadger.io
• jQuery Rails for jQuery
• New Relic RPM for monitoring performance
• Postgres for access to the Postgres database
• Rack Timeout to abort requests that are taking too long
• Puma to serve HTTP requests

Development gems:

• Annotate for annotating Rails classes with schema and routes info
• Better errors for better error page for Rack apps
• Bullet for help killing N+1 queries and unused eager loading
• Bundler Audit for scanning the Gemfile for insecure dependencies based on published CVEs
• Figaro for Heroku-friendly Rails app configuration using ENV
• lol_dba for scanning missing indexes
• Pry Rails for interactively exploring objects
• rails-erd for generating Entity-Relationship Diagrams
• Spring for fast Rails actions via pre-loading

Testing gems:

• Factory Girl for test data
• RSpec for unit testing
• Shoulda Matchers for common RSpec matchers
• Timecop for testing time
