# An example Rails 7 app
[](https://github.com/zakariaf/rails-base-app/blob/main/Gemfile.lock) [](https://github.com/zakariaf/rails-base-app/blob/main/.ruby-version) [](https://github.com/zakariaf/rails-base-app/blob/main/package.json) [](https://github.com/zakariaf/rails-base-app/blob/main/package.json) [](https://github.com/zakariaf/rails-base-app/blob/main/package.json) [](https://github.com/zakariaf/rails-base-app/blob/main/LICENSE)
**This app is built with Rails 7, Ruby 3, Vite, Vue 3 and typescript. and is using Docker for building production images** You could use this example app as a base for your upcoming projects. Or, you could use it as a tutorial that tells you which steps you need to take to create a project from scratch.
Several gems and packages are included in this example app that I've been using for a long time. It wires up a number of things you might use in a real world Rails app. However, at the same time it's not loaded up with a million personal opinions.
- As [Webpacker](https://github.com/rails/webpacker#webpacker-has-been-retired-) has been retired, we are using [Vite](https://vite-ruby.netlify.app/) instead. It wouldn't be fair if I didn't say that: **Vite** is fantastic.

## Tech stack
Initially, I used the `rails new baseapp -c tailwindcss -d postgresql` command to initialize the project using the importmaps and default configurations, but I have since removed the importmaps, tailwindcss, and all default configurations in favor of using Vite.
You can see a list of gems that are in the project with a link to their commit. Therefore, you can easily find what we configured for each gem.
**Note** there is a commit/branch for each gem/package and adding/changing a code in the repo, and you can see the list of the steps we did in order at the below. e.g. step 1 in the repo was **init project** and using **PostgreSQL**. step number 2 was adding **RSpec**, etc.

## Auth
- 26- [Devise](https://github.com/heartcombo/devise) and [Devise::JWT](https://github.com/waiting-for-dev/devise-jwt) JWT authentication solution [Backend PR1](https://github.com/zakariaf/rails-base-app/pull/6), [Backend PR2](https://github.com/zakariaf/rails-base-app/pull/12)
We are using JWT to authentication using Devise and Devise::JWT gems. If you send a request to log in, the successful response will give you a header called `Authorization` which has the JWT token as value. and you need to add this header and its value to all of your requests.
Predefined auth routes:
### `/signup`
**Request**:
```
curl -XPOST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "user": { "email": "[email protected]", "password": "12345678", "password_confirmation": "12345678" } }' http://localhost:3000/signup
```
**Response**: Returns the details of the created user
```
{"data":{"id":"4","type":"user","attributes":{"email":"[email protected]","sign_in_count":1,"created_at":"2022-04-18T17:49:06.798Z"}}}
```
### `/login`
**Request**:
```bash
curl -XPOST -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "user": { "email": "[email protected]", "password": "12345678" } }' http://localhost:3000/login
```
**Response**: includes `Authorization` in header and details of the loggedin user
```bash
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
X-XSS-Protection: 0
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
X-Download-Options: noopen
....
Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json; charset=utf-8
Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiI0Iiwic2NwIjoidXNlciIsImF1ZCI6bnVsbCwiaWF0IjoxNjUwMzA0MjU3LCJleHAiOjE2NTAzOTA2NTcsImp0aSI6IjM4ZmI4ZGIyLWVlMjgtNDg2Yy05YjE5LTA2NWVmYmQ0ZGE4MCJ9.p8766vPrhiGpPyV2FdShw1ljBx2Os3D1oE_rPjjAYrY
...
{"data":{"id":"4","type":"user","attributes":{"email":"[email protected]","sign_in_count":2,"created_at":"2022-04-18T17:49:06.798Z"}}}
```
### `/logout`
**Request**: includes `Authorization` and its JWT token in the header of `DELETE` request
```bash
curl -XDELETE -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiI0Iiwic2NwIjoidXNlciIsImF1ZCI6bnVsbCwiaWF0IjoxNjUwMzA0MjU3LCJleHAiOjE2NTAzOTA2NTcsImp0aSI6IjM4ZmI4ZGIyLWVlMjgtNDg2Yy05YjE5LTA2NWVmYmQ0ZGE4MCJ9.p8766vPrhiGpPyV2FdShw1ljBx2Os3D1oE_rPjjAYrY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:3000/logout
```
**Response**: nothing
**Note** We are using JWT to authentication, it means you can use this Rails base app as a **vanilla rails app** (Backend and frontend together), or as a **Rails API app**. both you can use.
## Apps
I always prefer to have two apps for my projects, one for the part that will be shown public (I called it **Website**), and the second one for the part that you are managing there (I called it **Panel**), simplify you need to log in to have access there.
If you can check the codes you can see that there are two layout view files and two actions in application_controller, and two routes in routes.rb file. and for frontend there are two different entrypoints and routers ane etc.
In this case, you can use different technologies and UI Component Libraries in frontend, e.g. use [Vuetify](https://vuetifyjs.com/en/) for **Website** and use [VueTailwind](https://www.vue-tailwind.com/) for **Panel**. or even (it's a bit headache) but you can use [React](https://reactjs.org/) for **Website** and use [Vue.js](https://vuejs.org/) for **Panel**.
Two simple html/css templates have been added for **Website** and **Panel**. you can remove them easily
## Running app
I generally recommend to use Docker only for building production images, and not for development. hence I didn't add any docker configs for development.
To run the app locally, you need to have [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/) and [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) installed on your machine.
### 1. Clone the repo
```bash
git clone https://github.com/zakariaf/rails-base-app baseapp
cd baseapp
```
### 2. Install dependencies
```bash
bundle install # install ruby gems
yarn install # install node packages
```
### 3. Copy .env to .env.local
- `.env` file is used for production
- `.env.local` will be used for development
- `.env.test` will be used for test
Usually, you only need to change the Postgres variables in `.env.local` file to match your local database.
```bash
cp .env .env.local
cp .env .env.test
```
### 4. Setup database
```bash
bundle exec rails db:setup
```
### 5. Run the app
```bash
bin/dev
```
## Docker
As I mentioned before, We use Docker only for building production images. We are using [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) to build the images and run the containers. You can check the `docker-compose.yml` file to see the configurations. and you can check the `Dockerfile` file to see the configurations for the production image.
Dockerize was done by these two MRs:
- [Dockerize the app](https://github.com/zakariaf/rails-base-app/pull/23)
- [Dockerize the app (2)](https://github.com/zakariaf/rails-base-app/pull/32)
**NOTE** Documentation about docker is not complete yet, I will update it soon.
### 1. Build the images
```bash
docker compose build
```
## Renaming the project
This app is named `baseapp` and the module is named `BaseApp`. But for sure you would like to have a different name.
The only thing you need to do is just running the `bin/rename-project yourappname YouAppName` script.
as you see this script needs 2 arguments:
- First argument: The lower case version of your app's name, such as `myapp` or `my_app` depending on your preference.
- Second argument: Used for your app's module name. such as `MyApp`
`bin/rename-project myapp MyApp`
This script is going to:
- Perform a number of find / replace actions
- Initialize a new git repo for you (Optionally)
After that, If you're happy with your new project's name you can delete this
script.
Or you can keep it around in case you decide to change your project's
name later on.
I got the rename script idea and codes from [Docker Rails Example](https://github.com/nickjj/docker-rails-example#running-a-script-to-automate-renaming-the-project) project with some small changes.
