lazy_rails

LazyRails

LazyRails simplifies Rails project creation and tool installation, addressing two common pain points:

1. Simplifying the verbose command for creating new Rails apps.
2. Customizing the default tools installed with a new Rails project.

Features

• Interactive guide for creating new Rails projects
• On-the-fly addition and installation of popular gems and tools. No more open documentation and copy-paste commands.

Installation

Install globally:

gem install lazy_rails

Usage

Create a new Rails project:

lazy_rails new

Development

1. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/[USERNAME]/lazy_rails.git
2. Install dependencies: bin/setup
3. Run tests: rake spec
4. Start console: bin/console

Local installation: bundle exec rake install

Roadmap

• test compatibility with other ruby/rails versions
• Selection of Rails version (at least last 3)
• View template selection (ERB, Haml, Slim)
• Test tool selection (RSpec, Minitest, Test::Unit)
• Linter selection (RuboCop, Standard)
• Basic setup customization (Action Cable, Active Job, Action Mailer, Action Mailbox)
• On-the-fly popular gem installation (Devise, Sidekiq, Solid Queue)
• Improve documentation
• Enhance error handling and user feedback

✅ Completed:

• Basic CLI structure
• 'new' command for project generation
• CSS processor selection (Tailwind, Bootstrap, Bulma, PostCSS, Sass)
• JavaScript processor selection (Importmap, Bun, Webpack, esbuild, Rollup)
• Database selection (SQLite3, MySQL, PostgreSQL)
• Increase test coverage
• App type selection (API, Web)
