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

I just encounter the same your problem. I did it. More detail is below:
- First I rename views/your_model folder to views/your_model_bak. In order to revert if fail later
- Then, execute command

rails g scaffold YourModel [field[:type][:index]] --skip

• Don't forget --skip option, it will not create exist files (controller and model in this case and few other files)
• Make sure list [field[:type][:index]] is up to date

-- Finally, you should update your permit in your_model controller.

Hope it can help you.
