I have already a model in my Ruby on Rails aplication. I want to generate the Controller and Views.
Using the scaffold_controller option i get the files but the forms of the view dosnt contain the html input forms.
I can generate them using the parameters, for example
rails g scaffold_controller User name email
Is there some way to generate the html input tags without setting them as parameters? Can i make the scaffold_controller take the data from the existing model?
Thanks
Actually, when you use scaffold_controller, you are telling generator not to consider model. If you want to consider model attribites, you will need to pass the required attributes, as you are doing.
For more clarity:
Stubs out a scaffolded controller and its views. Pass the model name, either CamelCased or under_scored, and a list of views as arguments. The controller name is retrieved as a pluralized version of the model name.
To create a controller within a module, specify the model name as a path like 'parent_module/controller_name'.
This generates a controller class in app/controllers and invokes helper, template engine and test framework generators.
