Rails Boilerplate is a Rails (>= 3.1.0) gem which helps you to use the html 5 boilerplate.

You'll need at least Rails 3.1. Then put this in your Gemfile:

gem "rails-boilerplate"

This gives you a generator boilerplate:install which does the following things:

• updates app/views/layouts/application.html.erb to include all the elements used in the H5BP:index.html converted to a Rails compatible ERB file, complete with the necessary rails helper calls.

• adds style.css(renamed to reset.css), modernizr.js and plugins.js as assets

• copies over some static file (like favicons, touch icons, robots.txt, humans.txt) to the public/ folder.

If you want to checkout the code, be sure to do:

git submodule init
git submodule update
bundle

• add option to strip comments from the application.html.erb
• add option to exclude google analytics script

• google analytics scripts (ga.js) only gets attached in production env
• generator adds config.assets.precompile += %w(modernizr.js) to config/environments/production.rb

• updated to html5-boilerplate version

• initial version.
