DISCLAIMER: Scaffolding is not recommended unless it's for very conventional CRUD apps/testing. This may generate a lot of files(views/models/controllers) that are not needed in your web application thus causing headaches(bad :().
To generate a fully working scaffold for a new object, including model, controller, views, assets, and tests, use the rails g scaffold
command.
$ rails g scaffold Widget name:string price:decimal invoke active_record create db/migrate/20160722171221_create_widgets.rb create app/models/widget.rb invoke test_unit create test/models/widget_test.rb create test/fixtures/widgets.yml invoke resource_route route resources :widgets invoke scaffold_controller create app/controllers/widgets_controller.rb invoke erb create app/views/widgets create app/views/widgets/index.html.erb create app/views/widgets/edit.html.erb create app/views/widgets/show.html.erb create app/views/widgets/new.html.erb create app/views/widgets/_form.html.erb invoke test_unit create test/controllers/widgets_controller_test.rb invoke helper create app/helpers/widgets_helper.rb invoke jbuilder create app/views/widgets/index.json.jbuilder create app/views/widgets/show.json.jbuilder invoke assets invoke javascript create app/assets/javascripts/widgets.js invoke scss create app/assets/stylesheets/widgets.scss
Then you can run rake db:migrate
to set up the database table.
Then you can visit http://localhost:3000/widgets and you'll see a fully functional CRUD scaffold.
