Nozomi: Faster Rails templating
My stack for new rails 3 projects.
Each change is committed to git in a single commit, so you can cherry pick the bits you like. Alternatively feel free to use the template as a base for your own version.
rspec
I don't remember the last time I used Test::Unit, does anybody actually use it anymore?
jquery
jQuery is today's default JS framework of choice
haml
I cringe when I see ERB, if your designer doesn't understand Haml, perhaps it's time for a new designer
sass
Now that SCSS is a superset of CSS there should be no arguments here
compass
Useful for its library of CSS3 mixins and other useful utility functions, and a sprite builder called lemonade
grid-coordinates
Because blueprint and other compass css frameworks are too heavyweight
decent_exposure
For fashion-model thin controllers, so skinny they're barely there. (Did you know that Nozomi is also a Japanese fashion model?)
rspec-integration
Because cucumber is pretty heavyweight and somewhat awkward compared to plain old rspec, (admit it non-devs rarely read or write your stories anyway)
capybara
The best interface for driving any kind of integration specs with Selenium, Webrat, etc
jammit
There's no sense in sending more down the wire than you absolutely have to.
How to contribute
- Fork the project.
- Make your feature addition or bug fix.
- Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
- Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
- Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
