Rails 6 with Webpacker 6, Tailwind 2 with JIT, Postcss 8, and some default setup

It is always nice to follow a detailed guide and steps when building new rails apps. Below is a bit of guidance and step-by-step instructions.

Create a new project;

rails new project_name -d postgresql

Initial gem setup

Addition gems, which I mostly used in every project;

group :development do
  gem 'meta_request', github: 'dejan/rails_panel', branch: 'master', glob: 'meta_request/meta_request.gemspec'  gem 'pry-rails'
  gem 'annotate'
  gem 'letter_opener_web' 
  gem 'foreman'
end

gem 'devise'
gem 'acts_as_tenant'
gem 'friendly_id'
gem 'stripe'

Run:

bundle install

Add static pages

rails g controller pages home about contact
#config/routes.rb
- get 'pages/home'
+ root to: 'pages#home'

Verify pages

rails db:prepare
rails s

Pages#home
Find me in app/views/pages/home.html.erb
