Stones

Each time I created a new Rails project these files are required. I got tired of it and collected them in a gem.

Some files (e.g. reset.css) can be overwritten by a corresponding one from your project.

Files:

app/assets/images/matiq.ico
app/assets/images/twitter_32.png
app/assets/stylesheets/print.css
app/assets/stylesheets/reset.css
app/components/about_component.rb
app/components/flash_component.rb
app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
app/views/layouts/_body.slim
app/views/layouts/_flash.slim

app/views/layouts/_header.slim
app/views/layouts/_html_head.slim
app/views/root/about.slim
app/views/shared/_error_explanation.html.erb
# config/initializers/concerns.rb # OBSOLETE & removed

Installation

As usual:

# Gemfile
gem "stones"

and run "bundle install".

Recommended

• rvm
• ruby 3.3+
• rails 7.2+

Dropped/cleaned files (still available in version 0.2.5):

• Rakefile
• .watchr
• lib/tasks/backup.rake

AboutComponent

Usage

...
render AboutComponent(title: "My App", text: "Does something")
...

FlashComponent

Usage

...
flash[:error] = "Something failed"
...
render FlashComponent.new(flash)
...

Rails

"stones" takes care of a tag-head change introduced by Rails 7.x.
