Rails Starter (Vue, Tailwindcss, Postgres, Devise)

There are a lot of starter templates for Rails apps, but I want one that is so minimal that I never have to delete anything to get started — only add to it. Most come with more than I need by default. To use, fork/clone this repository instead of rails new app.

Relevant Versions Used (Modifiable)

• Ruby 2.6.3
• Rails 6.0.1
• Node 12.13.0
• Tailwindcss ^1.1.3
• Vue ^2.6.10

Initial Setup

Install all dependencies and create/migrate the database.

1. Fork the repository
2. Clone it to your local machine
3. cd into the directory
4. bundle (installs all gems)
5. yarn (installs all packages)
6. rails db:create && rails db:migrate

Running the App

1. rails s
2. Open new tab in Terminal and bin/webpack-dev-server

Notes

You are mostly starting from scratch with these tools besides for the basic installation, so there are very few assumptions or defaults if any.

Tailwind

• To modify defaults, see tailwind.config.js file.
• To add custom styles I recommend creating organized files in app/javascript/css and importing the files into main.css.
• See Tailwind Docs (https://tailwindcss.com)

Vue

• I added a sample component "App" to show basic organization and process for adding a component.
• See Vue Docs (https://vuejs.org)

Devise

• A User model was initialized with defaults.
• Views were generated with no styling. There are some Tailwind Devise form ERB files online you can copy.
• See Devise Docs (https://github.com/plataformatec/devise)
