How I start EVERY Rails app (pt. 1)

In this video I show you how I set up a Rails app from scratch to use RSpec, Devise and Tailwind CSS.

I'd like to see how you also design your app/db and gather the business requirements things like that, modeling relationships etc.

hey thank you for the awesome content, quick question, is this VS Code, and if so what theme are you using, do you have a video or resource on how you set up VSCode for ruby and rails projects? thanks

I have a problem:

The asset "application.css" is not present in the asset pipeline.

In the line:

<%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", "data-turbo-track": "reload" %>

Same version ruby and rails that you used. I dont know why this error :(

Thanks for the video. Two questions,

a. how do you link the login and register to use auth.html.erb and not the default layout application.html.erb? Do you also recommend to have separate layouts like your video?
b. Is there a reason to favor esbuild over importmap?

Thanks.

also, when you start a project do you mkdir X, cd X, git init y, cd y and then start the rails new z project? or ?

How do you seperate the views and layouts folders? Did you copy paste everything from application controller into auth.html.erb? For me the auth.html.erb file was with white text, didn't register or something..
