Rails 3, RSpec, Fabrication or Factory Girl, Haml, and jQuery

Usage

Easily generate a Rails 3 application with RSpec, Factory Girl, Haml, and jQuery in one line:

% rails new my_app --skip-bundle -J -T -m \
https://github.com/leshill/rails3-app/raw/master/app.rb

Need Cucumber?

Use this generator file instead:

% rails new my_app --skip-bundle -J -T -m \
https://github.com/leshill/rails3-app/raw/master/cuke.rb

Want Fabrication instead of Factory Girl?

Use either of the following generators instead:

% rails new my_app --skip-bundle -J -T -m \
https://github.com/leshill/rails3-app/raw/master/fabrication.rb

% rails new my_app --skip-bundle -J -T -m \
https://github.com/leshill/rails3-app/raw/master/fabrication_cuke.rb

Use MongoMapper?

Use this generator file:

% rails new my_app --skip-bundle -J -T -m \
https://github.com/leshill/rails3-app/raw/master/mongomapper.rb

rvm

We love rvm, so the application has an .rvmrc generated to specify a gemset.

Generators

We use the Factory Girl and Haml Rails 3 generators — the generators for RSpec and Fabrication are packaged within their respective gems. The Factory Girl and Haml generators are from the haml-rails and factory_girl_generator gems.

jQuery

We use the jquery-rails generator to pull in the latest and greatest jQuery into the app.

git

We love git, so the application has a git repo initialized with all the initial changes staged.

Wrap Up

After the application has been generated, there are a few final command to finish the install, check the output!

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
