Limestone Accounts

WARNING Limestone Accounts is no longering being maintained due to it's reliance on the Apartment Gem. If you would like a multitenant solution in Limestone, you can vote for ActsAsTenant here: https://www.strawpoll.me/42684734/

Limestone Accounts is a boilerplate SaaS app built with Rails 5.2 and has an opinionated integration with NPM using Webpacker and Stimulus.

Limestone Accounts is multitenant, meaning each account has one subscription and potentially many users through invitations. If you want each user to have their own subscription, try Limestone.

The Stack

The gemset has been chosen to be modern, performant, and take care of a number of business concerns common to SaaS.

Features

• Free trial begins upon registration without credit card.
• Per-seat billing.
• Subscription management. Card update form and cancel account button.
• Emails for welcome, billing updated, invoice paid, invoice failed and trial expiring. All except welcome are controlled by Stripe webhooks.
• Invoice PDF attached to invoice paid email.
• Mail sends through Sidekiq with deliver_later. Devise mailing also configured for Sidekiq dispatch.
• Direct uploading to S3 with ActiveStorage. Lazy transform for resizing. Demonstrated with user avatars.
• Icon helper for user avatars with fallback to user initials. Icon helper for font awesome icons.
• Administrate dashboard lets you manage records (ex: accounts, users, invoices). Easy to add more and customize as you like. Visit /admin.
• Impersonate users through administrate dashboard.
• Pretty modals using bootstrap integrated into rails_ujs data-confirm. Demonstrated with cancel account button.
• Persistent banner with link to billing page for accounts that are past due.
• Opinionated search integration using Elasticsearch via Searchkick. Gem is in place but integration is up to you.
• Feature control using the flipper gem. Demonstrated with public_registration.
• Notifications with ActionCable. See console example in app/models/notification.rb.
• 88% RSpec test coverage.

Roadmap

• In-browser image cropping using jcrop or the likes.
• Custom error pages.

Notes

• RSpec controller tests have been omitted in favour of requests tests.
• You can run tests locally with docker-compose run web rspec
• Because this is a boilerplate, there are no migrations. Rely on schema.rb and use rails db:setup to create the db and seed.

Getting Started

• Install Docker
• Customize .env from .env-example
• run docker-compose run webpack yarn install --pure-lockfile to install all node modules.
• run docker-compose up --build to create and run the various images, volumes, containers and a network
• run docker-compose exec web rails db:setup to create DB, load schema and seed. Seeding will also create your plan(s) in Stripe.
• Visit lvh.me:3000 and rejoice

Bonus points

• Login as the admin user that was created (from .env)
• Visit /admin/flipper
• Create the feature public_registration and enable it. Now anyone can register :clap:
• You'll probably want to change the role enum on the accounts_user model, and the default role in schema.rb.

Setting up production

A wiki will be written about this.
