Nails

Rails Inspired NextJS Template.

Generate a Nails Project

npm create nails my-nails-app
# or with yarn
yarn create nails my-nails-app

Run Project Locally

yarn install
yarn develop

ENV

cp example.env .env.local

Generate New Model

You can generate a new model using the command below:

# Generate a new model called UserActivity
yarn nails generate model UserActivity

Generate New Scaffold

You can generate a new scaffold using the command below:

# Generate a new scaffold called UserActivity
yarn nails generate scaffold UserActivity

Collection Scope

There may be situations where you need to use the same Firebase project across multiple Nails repositories. In these cases, COLLECTION_SCOPE can be useful.

By setting COLLECTION_SCOPE in your .env.local file, Nails will automatically detect it and prefix all Firestore collection names with its value.

For example, if you have a collection named UserActivity, it would normally map to userActivities in Firestore. However, if COLLECTION_SCOPE is set to list, the resulting collection name will become list__userActivities.
