Echo Base

Is a starting point for fast prototyping of Rails 3 apps

Generate a Rails 3 app, then include the gem in your Gemfile:

group :development do
  gem 'echo_base'
end

Bundle and then run the generator:

rails g echo_base "my awesome app name"

The generator will add the gems listed below, along with the default layout/theme from the web-app-theme gem, and a very basic setup for omniauth. After running the generator, add your api keys to config/omniauth.yml and then:

bundle install
rake db:migrate

And you’re ready to get spiking

Check out the docs on web-app-theme at github.com/pilu/web-app-theme for examples of how to make use oo the layout generators

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.
