The kickoff_tailwind from anguloco

kickoff_tailwind's Introduction

A free and simple starting point for Ruby on Rails 7 applications.. This particular template utilizes Tailwind CSS, a utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development.

Included gems

Tailwind CSS by default

This template comes with Tailwind CSS preconfigured for use. To make use of tools like @apply and @layer a more sophisticated setup is required likely using PostCSS and JavaScript bundling. There is a javascript-bundling gem to help with this if you require it.

How it works

When creating a new rails app simply pass the template filename and ruby extension through.

$ rails new sample_app -d <postgresql, mysql, sqlite3> -m template.rb

Once installed what do I get?

Tailwind CSS by default. You may opt for Bootstrap, Bulma, Sass, and PostCSS but this will require manual changes to the existing markup in the generated template view files.
Devise with a new name field already migrated in. The name field maps to the first_name and last_name fields in the database thanks to the name_of_person gem.
Enhanced views and devise views using Tailwind CSS.
The pay-rails gem installed and configured for use with Stripe to make accepting payments much easier. Be sure to add your own unique API keys.
Support for Friendly IDs thanks to the handy friendly_id gem. Note that you'll still need to do some work inside your models for this to work. This template installs the gem and runs the associated generator.
Optional Foreman support. Run .bin/dev to kick off rails and Tailwind processes. Foreman needs to be installed as a global gem on your system for this to work. i.e. gem install foreman
Custom view helper defaults for basic button and form elements.
