Create the app

[C83]

Why ?

Creating the app, "the right way" will help the process as changing the default after is a bit tedious/difficult in rails.

Must have:

• [x] Postgresql
• [x] No front
• [x] No Tests framework

Todo

• [x] Read through the rails new --help documentation
• [x] Create the app

Reading list

What is rails api mode

• [x] http://guides.rubyonrails.org/api_app.html

What is a middleware

• [x] http://railscasts.com/episodes/151-rack-
• [x] http://guides.rubyonrails.org/rails_on_rack.html#action-dispatcher-middleware-stack

[C83]

rails new my_api --api -d postgresql -S -T -J -C --skip-turbolinks

• --api disables few browser features, view part of the app and controllers inherit from ActionController:API instead of ActionController:Base.
• -d postgresql to use postgresql instead of sqlite3
• -C to disable action-cable
• -J to disable javascript
• -T to disable test
• -S to disable sprocket (the gem provide asset pipeline but there is no view so no asset pipeline with api)
• --skip-turbolinks to disable turbolinks (the gem is used to improve and fluidify the navigation, useless with api)
