Iteration A1: Creating the Product Maintenance Application
At the heart of the Depot application is a database. Getting this installed and configured and tested before proceeding will prevent a lot of headaches. If you’re not certain about what you want, take the defaults, and it will go easily. If you know what you want, Rails makes it easy for you to describe your configuration.
For this project, let’s make use of the Tailwind CSS[36] framework, which enables you to make pretty websites without authoring any CSS. We’ll do so by specifying an additional option when we create our application, and as you’ll shortly see it will also affect how we start our server during development.
