The Roadmap describes the upcoming features in RailsBricks that are currently worked on. If you have any suggestion or would like to participate, get in touch!
Bricks Generator
The new application wizard rbricks –new sets up and configures common functionalities in a Rails app. RailsBricks should include generators for functionalities (or ‘bricks‘) that could be optionally added at a later stage with the –add [brick-name] option. For example, adding Google Analytics to a Rails 4 app (including the turbolinks workaround) would be done like this:
rbricks -a google-analytics
Bricks being worked on are:
- Google Analytics
- Contact Form
- Blog
I implemented a variation of the solution discussed here on Github to remove RailsBricks dependency on RVM.
If you use RVM, RailsBricks will still work. If you don’t, it will as well!
Fantastic feedback
posted 7 months ago
In the past 24 hours, I received a huge amount of suggestions for new features. Some of them seem to be quite popular and some others are simply so awesome and creative that I want to start working on them ASAP. I will take the coming days to go through them all, evaluate them and then, I’ll update the Roadmap once again.
Stay tuned and keep the feedback coming! Tweet, use the Github tracker or the contact form.
Some updates to the Roadmap
posted 7 months ago
The Roadmap has been updated based on the feedback received so far. It seems clear now that…
- …there’s quite a bit of interest in RailsBricks
- …the way to install RailsBricks is not the best and should move to a
gem install
standard process - …RailsBricks should allow other Ruby version managers than RVM to be used
- …there’s a need for an external add-on system
Loads of fun things to work on in the coming days, then! Again, tweet your suggestions, use the Github tracker or send them directly.

Finally, railsbricks.net is live. The documentation is up to date at railsbricks.net/get-started.
The site also has a roadmap page that highlights the features that are currently worked on.
The whole site is made in PHP3 and runs on top of an Access database. No, just kidding. Railsbricks.net is made with RailsBricks.
Spread the word!
