Bloat

Bloat is a tiny wrapper around a Thor apply call, and allows running arbitrary Thor template code from anywhere!

Installation

In a ruby project, you can add bloat to your Gemfile

For non-ruby projects, you'll need to install ruby, and then gem install bloat

Usage

Just run bloat with {template_url}, and the content at the template will be run from your current directory! For examples of what you might want to do, check out RailsBytes.

Examples

Let's check out using bloat to make templates from RailsBytes work in a Lucky application.

We can add the lovely StimulusJS library to Lucky our app with one command!

How about a Lucky app styled with TailwindCSS?

Maybe we want to use TypeScript with Lucky?

Bloat can even manage getting your Lucky app deployed to Heroku!
