Create Ruby on Rails views (only) after controllers and models are already created

Question

I\'ve obtained a project that have controllers (minimal code only) and models, but the views are missing. Is there a way to generate the views only using scaffold or another

Answer 1

This is what the scaffold generator calls internally:

rails g erb:scaffold User

erb is the templating engine used, so you can also use haml:scaffold.

You must explicitly specify the fields you would like the scaffolding to use--rails does not automatically deduce them from the created model. For example:

rails g erb:scaffold User firstname lastname reputation

See rails g --help for options like skipping, forcing overwriting, and dry runs or generate scaffold --help for information specific to generating scaffolding.
