|
|
Scaffolds an entire resource, from model and migration to controller and
|
|
|
|
views, along with a full test suite. The resource is ready to use as a
|
|
|
|
starting point for your restful, resource-oriented application.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pass the name of the model, either CamelCased or under_scored, as the first
|
|
|
|
argument, and an optional list of attribute pairs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Attribute pairs are column_name:sql_type arguments specifying the
|
|
|
|
model's attributes. Timestamps are added by default, so you don't have to
|
|
|
|
specify them by hand as 'created_at:datetime updated_at:datetime'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You don't have to think up every attribute up front, but it helps to
|
|
|
|
sketch out a few so you can start working with the resource immediately.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, `scaffold post title:string body:text published:boolean`
|
|
|
|
gives you a model with those three attributes, a controller that handles
|
|
|
|
the create/show/update/destroy, forms to create and edit your posts, and
|
|
|
|
an index that lists them all, as well as a map.resources :posts
|
|
|
|
declaration in config/routes.rb.
|
|
|
|

|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
`./script/generate scaffold post` # no attributes, view will be anemic
|
|
|
|
`./script/generate scaffold post title:string body:text published:boolean`
|
|
|
|
`./script/generate scaffold purchase order_id:integer amount:decimal`
