BootstrapViewsGenerator

This gem is used for generating Bootstrap based scaffold views for your Rails application. They can be Erb, Slim, or HAML. You can include pagination (using Pagy), simple_form (for the form components), and if you'd like you can utilize the meta-tags gems to all dynamic page titles when switching between your view components.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'bootstrap_views_generator', group: :development

# Now make sure you have the bootstrap gem installed in your Gemfile
gem 'bootstrap', '~> 4.3'

# And ensure you have bootstrap included in your application.scss
@import 'bootstrap';

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install bootstrap_views_generator
