When you have an existing table it would probably be nice to be able to do script/generate existing_scaffold model and getting that to read the data in the table and work it out from there. This could work by using the information stored in config/database.yml and the tables in the database, correctly generating models, migrations, controllers and views based on this.
Hi there, my parents and friends call me Ryan Bigg, but you may know me as "Radar". Either is fine.
I'm a web developer and technical writer/blogger based in Australia.
Currently, I work for GetUp! as a contractor teaching Ruby on Rails. The opinions expressed here are my own.
I do a lot of open source work and I tweet.
My email address is radarlistener@gmail.com. Discussing things with you is awesome, let's do more of that.
I also evangelize Ruby and Rails whenever I get the chance.
