Heroku's Suspenders

thoughtbot's Suspenders modified for Heroku.

git clone git://github.com/dancroak/heroku_suspenders.git
cd heroku_suspenders
./script/create_project project_name

This will create a Rails 2.3.2 app with Heroku-recommended code:

• Paperclip for file uploads, set for Amazon S3
• Gmail SMTP for email
• Delayed Job for background processing
• Hoptoad Notifier for exception notification
• Google Analytics for usage analytics

... and some other opinions:

• jQuery for Javascript and Ajax
• Clearance for authentication
• Active Merchant for payment processing
• Cucumber, Shoulda, Factory Girl, Mocha, Fakeweb, & Timecop for testing
• Inherited Resources for RESTful controllers
• Formtastic for form builders
• Flutie for CSS framework
• Blitz for features, model, controller, & helper generators

If you don't have all the necessary gems, they will be installed.

Get the latest & greatest at anytime with:

rake suspenders:pull

A helper rake task will prompt you for all your production config vars (S3 keys, GMail account, Hoptoad API key...) and set them on your Heroku app:

rake heroku:setup
