Rails_boilerplate

Overview:

Rails Boilerplate is a framework that utilizes Ruby on Rails version 5.2.1 and Ruby version 2.5.3. It offers a collection of features and tools to assist in the development process. Some of the key features include user setup with Devise, RESTful API development with Grape, pagination using Pagy, object printing with Awesome Print, schema annotation with Annotate, email preview with Letter Opener, and hook management with Overcommit. The Bullet gem is also included to help improve application performance.

Features:

• Devise: Provides user setup functionalities such as sign in, sign out, confirmation, and password reset. It also allows the addition of a username field and the ability to login with either the email or username.
• Grape: A REST-like API framework that can be used with Rails or Sinatra. It offers a simple DSL to develop RESTful APIs with support for multiple formats, content negotiation, versioning, and more. The Grape files can be found in the API folder, and there is automatic Swagger documentation available at http://{RAILS_HOST_WITH_PORT}/documentation.
• API Pagination: Paginate headers instead of response bodies following the RFC-8288 standard for Web linking. The Pagy gem is installed and configured for API pagination.
• Awesome Print: A Ruby library that pretty prints Ruby objects in full color, exposing their internal structure with proper indentation. It supports Rails ActiveRecord objects and usage within templates.
• Annotate: Adds comments summarizing the current schema to ActiveRecord models, fixture files, tests and specs, object daddy exemplars, machinist blueprints, fabrication fabricators, factory bot factories, and the routes.rb file.
• Letter Opener: Allows users to preview emails in the browser instead of actually sending them. This eliminates the need for configuring email delivery methods in the development environment.
• Overcommit: A tool for managing and configuring hooks. It supports a variety of hooks that can be used across multiple repositories, and repository-specific hooks can also be defined. Existing hook scripts can be easily added without writing any Ruby code.
• Bullet: Helps improve application performance by identifying N+1 queries and unused eager loading scopes.

Summary:

Rails Boilerplate is a comprehensive framework built on Ruby on Rails that offers a variety of features and tools to streamline the development process. It includes functionalities such as user setup with Devise, RESTful API development with Grape, pagination with Pagy, object printing with Awesome Print, schema annotation with Annotate, email preview with Letter Opener, hook management with Overcommit, and performance improvements with the Bullet gem. By providing these pre-configured features, Rails Boilerplate allows developers to kickstart their projects and save time.
