Sparkler

Spin up a Rails app using all the tools and frameworks we like at Gaslight. Inspired heavily by thoughtbot's Suspenders.

You'll get stuff like:

• Haml
• Sass
• Compass
• ZURB's Foundation
• Rspec
• Foreman setup using dotenv
• High Voltage (for static pages)
• A staging environment.
• An application layout rendering flash messages of any key/value.
• A responsive layout using HTML5.
• Vendored Rubygems in vendor/ruby and packaged gems in vendor/cache becuase Vendor Everything still applies.

Optionally, you can create a local-to-the-app Postgresql cluster. Why do that, you ask? Well your app becomes totally independent, first of all. In addition, when you use a tool like Foreman, PG's logs are output right along with your other services. It's pretty nice having all app specific output in one place.

It's not my idea, by the way.

Installation

Install the gem: gem install sparkler.

Usage

• Run the sparkler command with no arguments and you'll see the default Rails help. We've added a couple of options, though, which aren't currently listed.
• Most of the time, you'll want to do:

sparkler NEW_APP

• To generate a local PG cluster:

sparkler NEW_APP --local-database
