Opinionated rails application templates.

Overview:

The Orats project, which stands for opinionated rails application templates, has been deprecated in favor of a new project called docker-rails-example. Orats started as a Rails application template and eventually evolved into a pre-configured app with Orats as a CLI tool to personalize app names. The initial release was in February 2014. The new project, docker-rails-example, aims to provide a pre-configured application with a few opinions baked in, such as using Docker. This update means that Orats is no longer a Rails application template. The new repository will be continuously updated as Rails is updated.

Features:

  • Generates a base application that can be used as a starting point for Rails projects
  • Uses Docker to enable running the app on any major platform without needing Ruby installed
  • Supports Ruby 2.5+ and Rails 5.2+
  • Provides a choice of templates for generating the application

Summary:

Orats is a deprecated project that aims to provide a base application for Rails projects. It uses Docker to enable cross-platform compatibility and supports Ruby 2.5+ and Rails 5.2+. The project has been replaced by docker-rails-example, which will be continuously updated.
