Introduction

This template will generate and automatically set up the application created with the Hyperloop Showcase tutorial.

We advise you to follow that tutorial if this is your first time setting up a Hyperloop application. When developing your own application in the future you can then use this template to quickly set up your basic HyperLoop environment.

The template generator requires Ruby (>= 2.3.1), Rails (>= 5.0.1), NPM and Webpack (>= 2.0). Please see their websites for installation instructions.

Preliminary step

Install the gem colored

gem install colored

Using the application template

Step 1: Clone or download this repository

git clone "https://github.com/fzingg/hyperloop-showcase-template.git"

Step 2: Create the Rails app

Run the Rails new command with the name of your app (hyperloop-showcase for this example) and the path to the template.rb file

rails new hyperloop-showcase --skip-bundle -m /path-to/hyperloop-showcase-template/template.rb

Just watch the scripts running and you will see a prompt asking for your database information:

• Database-name ? [hyperloop-showcase]
• Database-username ? [Your database username]
• Database-password ? [Your database password]

Note: the app is configured to work with PostgreSQL DB. If you want to use another DB, you can edit the _gemfile.rb to add the gem and the _database.rb to edit the rails database config file.

Step 3: Run the HyperLoop Showcase App

Go to your app directory: cd hyperloop-showcase then run

rails s

or if you don't want to refresh at every code modification, run the app with the HyperReact Hot Reloader:

bundle exec foreman start

and browse to http://localhost:3000.
