#Webkit livereload code

Puts in a default skeleton for JS code organization, as explained in this post.gitignore file with some common files and folders that we add. html2haml – not required (needed to convert the devise views)Īlso, if needed, it manipulates files on the project to have the following:.

#Webkit livereload install

active_admin – optional (available if you choose to install Devise).

bootstrap-sass – we’ll remove bourbon, neat, refills and associated files.

Here’s a list of installed gems (without listing dependencies):

It’s a simple template file that will ask the user some questions to add or change new libraries to the newly created Rails project, keeping in mind that we want all the changes we do to be optional. We only wanted to have a flexible way to amend it, without having to fork its core. The last thing we wanted to end up with was maintaining another fork of Suspenders. Nicolas found out that we could just invoke suspenders with the flags we could normally use with rails new, so why not try to pass our template to suspenders and see how it fared? It worked! But on our template we were installing gems and doing some file manipulations that needed some sorting out, as they were already done by Suspenders or were being applied on files that changed significantly in newer versions of the files.

We thought, why not take it to the next level? Enter Hebillas We eventually found that although we had lots of work already done for us, we preferred to use some different libraries (Bootstrap instead of Bourbon and Neat), or that we preferred to keep writing Coffeescript instead of turning to EcmaScript6.

So we tried using Suspenders on some projects, and it worked fairly well for us. In the past, we created a Rails application template that did this all for us with a series of questions prompted to the user, but some time after that we discovered thoughtbot’s Suspenders, which was very well tailored, organized, and most importantly, kept up to date with developments in Ruby, Rails and the Rails ecosystem. At CookiesHQ we always seek to accelerate our known and repeatable processes, so we took our Rails template up a notch with the help of SuspendersĪs you know, starting a brand new Rails project implies doing a certain amount of tasks that is always the same, mainly hooking up the new application with third party services (Heroku, your bug tracker of choice, etc) and setting up the gems that are part of all your new developments (the usual suspects here: Devise, RSpec, Bootstrap, etc).
