+# scaffolder-backend-module-rails
+
+Welcome to the Rails Module for Scaffolder.
+
+Here you can find all Rails related features to improve your scaffolder:
+
+- Rails Action to use the `new` command
+- More features are coming
+
+## Getting started
+
+You need to configure the action in your backend:
+
+```
+yarn add @backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend-module-rails
+```
+
+Configure the action (you can check
+the [docs](https://backstage.io/docs/features/software-templates/writing-custom-actions#registering-custom-actions) to
+see all options):
+
+```typescript
+const actions = [
+  createFetchRailsAction({
+    integrations,
+    reader,
+    containerRunner,
+  }),
+];
+
+return await createRouter({
+  preparers,
+  templaters,
+  publishers,
+  logger,
+  config,
+  database,
+  catalogClient,
+  reader,
+  actions,
+});
+```
+
+After that you can use the action in your template:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: backstage.io/v1beta2
+kind: Template
