Thank you, byakugie* ~*
Your link led me to the gem "schema-to-scaffold", which enabled the
following scenario:
The aim is to get all the components generated automatically, but based on
the database schema. I did it my using the gem *schema_to_scaffold, *which
simply generates a script (one command in this case) that runs the *scaffold
*generator in a way that drives off of the database schema for the new
table (*users*).
1. Created a new database table, *users*:
sqlite> CREATE TABLE "users" ("id" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY
AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL, "name" text, "email" textuser);
sqlite> INSERT INTO users (name) VALUES (‘Jo’);
sqlite> SELECT * FROM users;
1|Jo|
2. Installed *schema_to_scaffold *gem:
sqlite> gem install schema_to_scaffold
3. Ran *schema_to_scaffold* for *users*:
[sunward@web324 x]$ scaffold -p db
Looking for schema.rb in db
0. db/schema.rb
Select a path to the target schema:
Loaded tables:
0. toys
1. users
Options are:
4 for table 4; (4..6) for table 4 to 6; [4,6] for tables 4 and 6; * for all
Tables
Select a table: 1
Script for scaffold:
rails generate scaffold User name:text email:text --no-migration
4. Ran the script produced by *schema_to_scaffold*:
[sunward@web324 x]$ rails generate scaffold User name:text email:text
--no-migration
invoke active_record
create app/models/user.rb
invoke test_unit
create test/models/user_test.rb
create test/fixtures/users.yml
invoke resource_route
route resources :users
invoke scaffold_controller

invoke erb
create app/views/users
create app/views/users/index.html.erb
create app/views/users/edit.html.erb
create app/views/users/show.html.erb
create app/views/users/new.html.erb
create app/views/users/_form.html.erb
invoke test_unit
create test/controllers/users_controller_test.rb
invoke helper
create app/helpers/users_helper.rb
invoke test_unit
invoke jbuilder
create app/views/users/index.json.jbuilder
create app/views/users/show.json.jbuilder
invoke assets
invoke coffee
create app/assets/javascripts/users.coffee
invoke scss
create app/assets/stylesheets/users.scss
invoke scss
create app/assets/stylesheets/scaffolds.scss
5. *It **work**s! *See http://x.sunward.webfactional.com/users/.
Amazing!
Next step will be to make a change in the database schema and see if/how I
can get Rails to automagically update its model, controller, and views to
fit.
Any how-to hints would be welcome.
