web-app-theme-rails¶ ↑

This Gem brings the cool Web App Theme by Andrea Franz to Rails 3 in the form of view generators, plus support for generating Haml-views, when Haml is in use.

Installation¶ ↑

Put the following in your Gemfile:

group :development do
  gem 'web-app-theme-rails'
end

Run bundler to install the gem:

bundle install

or do

gem install web-app-theme-rails

Add the following to config/application.rb:

config.generators do |g|
  g.template_engine "web_app_theme"
end

Now you need to generate a app/views/layouts/application.html.erb:

rails generate web_app_theme:layout

See the options on how to choose the theme you want.

BTW: If you are using Haml, a Haml-file is generated and the original application.html.erb will not be replaced and therefore still be the default layout. You need to remove or rename it to make the Haml-file take its place.

Usage/Examples¶ ↑

Just use rails scaffolding and have a look at the options:

rails generate scaffold Address name:string town:string

In the moment of this writing, generating a controller generates the normal rails views:

rails generate controller Friend index

generates the normal rails view for index.

Haml/Sass¶ ↑

Haml and Sass support is included. If you have Haml included in your apps Gemfile, web-app-theme-rails produces haml-templates and sass-stylesheets per default.

When you generate a normal controller, the normal rails views are generated in Haml-style instead of ERB-style.

Web App Theme¶ ↑

The views and layout were taken from Web App Theme with only very few modifications.
