RailStrap

RailStrap is a Front-end / Back-end template using HTML5 Boilerplate, Twitter Bootstrap and Ruby on Rails (3.2.x) with a powerful authentication system for building ruby on rails websites in seconds.

Quick start

Clone the git repo - git clone https://github.com/hugodias/railStrap.git - or download it

Execute rake to create the users database

rake db:migrate

if you are having getting the following error: You have already activated rake 0.9.2.2, but your Gemfile requires rake 0.8.7. Using bundle exec may solve this. try this

bundle exec rake db:migrate

Now start the server in your railStrap folder

rails s

Check at http://localhost:3000

Best pratices

Change the cookie secret token at config/initializers/secret_token.rb

# Be sure to restart your server when you modify this file.

# Your secret key for verifying the integrity of signed cookies.
# If you change this key, all old signed cookies will become invalid!
# Make sure the secret is at least 30 characters and all random,
# no regular words or you'll be exposed to dictionary attacks.
RailStrap::Application.config.secret_token = 'YOUR-NEW-TOKEN-HERE'

Thanks pringles for the tip

Databases

The branch master uses SQLITE by default. You can choose another database by changing branches. Rail Strap currently supports:

• SQLITE
• MYSQL

Todo

• Include supports for redis and mongodb
• Create a feature to remind the user password
• Significantly reduce the amount of files from the repository, to be an extension of application and not the entire application.
