Suspenders is a base Rails application that you can upgrade.

Installation

First install the suspenders gem:

gem install suspenders

Then run:

suspenders create projectname

This will create a Rails 3 app in `projectname'. This script creates a new new git repository. It is not meant to be used against an existing repo.

Suspenders uses Trout to make it easier to maintain a base version of special files (like Gemfile) in Suspenders.

Whenever you want to get the latest and greatest Suspenders' Gemfile, run:

trout update Gemfile

Gemfile

To see the latest and greatest gems, look at Suspenders' template/trout/Gemfile, which will be copied into your projectname/Gemfile.

It includes application gems like:

• Paperclip for file uploads
• Formtastic for better forms
• Hoptoad Notifier for exception notification
• Flutie for default CSS styles
• Clearance for authentication

And testing gems like:

• Cucumber, Capybara, and Akephalos for integration testing, including Javascript behavior
• RSpec for awesome, readable isolation testing
• Factory Girl for easier creation of test data
• Shoulda for frequently needed Rails and RSpec matchers
• Timecop for dealing with time
• Bourne and Mocha for stubbing and spying

Other goodies

Suspenders also comes with:

• jQuery for Javascript pleasantry
• Rails' flashes set up and in application layout.
• A few nice time formats.

See template/files to see what is generated one-time.
