Introduction

This is a brand new Rails 6.0.0.rc1 starter for developing Web Applications. The Application uses ROM-RB as the ORM layer.

Here are the basic changes that are done from the standard "rails new"

• The application is created with rails new --skip-active-record --webpack --skip-sprockets --skip-test
• The gems pg, rom-rails, rom-sql are added
• I prefer using rspec-rails for testing. The gem is added and installed.
• An initializer is added in config/rom.rb according to Getting Started - Rails Setup
• The gem dotenv-rails is added. The database configuration is added in the file .env.development
• The test database configuration is added in the file .env.test
• Added a line rom/sql/rake_task. This line will enable rake tasks for generating and running migrations from rom-sql

How to Use

• Clone the repo
• Change database configurations including username and password in .env.development and .env.test
• In application.rb change the module name from RomStarter to your application name
