Rails Templates

Our templates offer a rich boilerplate to jump start Rails-based application development and are based on our experience with building complex applications over the years.

• Install ruby and set your local ruby version to 3.3.1
• Install rails 7.1.3
• Install node 22.1.0 (For creating web application)

📝 If running on Apple M1, to build docker image, please make sure to set platform to AMD64 by export DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/amd64

In order to use the template, initialize a new app with the following parameters:

rails new <app_name> -m https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nimblehq/rails-templates/main/template.rb

Supported template options:

• --api - create an api-only application

To apply the template on an existing application, run following rails command:

rails app:template LOCATION=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nimblehq/rails-templates/main/template.rb
# To apply on an api application
rails app:template LOCATION=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nimblehq/rails-templates/main/template.rb API=true
# To apply a specific addon
rails app:template LOCATION=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nimblehq/rails-templates/main/template.rb ADDON=<addon name>

Available Addons:

• docker
• nginx
• phrase
• bootstrap
• slim
• devise

After the template finishes generating all the files, run the following command to start the rails server.

make dev
