Nozomi: Faster Rails templating

My stack for new rails 3 projects.

Each change is committed to git in a single commit, so you can cherry pick the bits you like. Alternatively feel free to use the template as a base for your own version.

rspec

I don't remember the last time I used Test::Unit, does anybody actually use it anymore?

rspec-integration

Because cucumber is pretty heavyweight and somewhat awkward compared to plain old rspec, (admit it non-devs rarely read or write your stories anyway)

capybara

The best interface for driving any kind of integration specs with Selenium, Webrat, etc

haml

I cringe when I see ERB, if your designer doesn't understand Haml, perhaps it's time for a new designer

sass

Now that SCSS is a superset of CSS there should be no arguments here

compass

Useful for its library of CSS3 mixins and other useful utility functions

grid-coordinates

Because blueprint and other compass css frameworks are too heavyweight

decent_exposure

For fashion-model thin controllers, so skinny they're barely there. (Nozomi is also a Japanese fashion model)|

How to contribute

  • 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.
