Rails scaffolding pluralisation is incorrect for “cafe”

Question

I want to create a cafe and a cave controller.

When I try to create my cafe using rails scaffolding, via the command

Answer 1

You can create your own inflections.

Add this to your config/initializers/inflections.rb

    ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
        inflect.plural "cafe", "cafes"
    end

(Restart your server after making this change. This is not required for the scaffolding command itself but it will be required when you want to actually view/use the code)

Now when you run rails g scaffold cafe you'll get:

...
app/views/cafes
      create      app/views/cafes/index.html.erb
      create      app/views/cafes/edit.html.erb
      create      app/views/cafes/show.html.erb
      create      app/views/cafes/new.html.erb
      create      app/views/cafes/_form.html.erb
etc
