💻 Rails 8 is coming soon, so DHH will kick off the second edition of #RailsWorld in Toronto with an Opening Keynote highlighting what is new in Rails today, and where the framework is headed tomorrow. The rest of the speakers will be announced in the coming days, so stay tuned for more.

Use this commands for new Rails app:

"rails new myapp --main -d=postgresql -c=tailwind -a=propshaft"

"--main" ensures that I have all the goodies that are not available with Rails 7, and will only be released with Rails 8 (presumably around RailsWorld 2024 in September)

New features:

✅ Built-in PWA (Progressive Web App) support
✅ Default Github CI config
✅ Propshaft - lightweight version of sprockets
✅ Brakeman - security scanner
✅ Rubocop code linter

You can learn more about all the "rails new" options by typing "rails new --help" in your terminal.
