Universal scaffolding super powa for everyone!

Brings Rails-ish scaffolding super powa for every developpers, no matter they don't code with blessed RoR.

Current development status: Scaffoldish is still a prototype

That means your opinion is welcome and contributions will be appreciated.

Install it

To install it, run gem install scaffoldish in your terminal to get the latest stable version.

Prepare your projects

Create a ./Scaffoldable configuration file at your project root like that:

require 'ostruct'

project_root = File.dirname(__FILE__) # Ensure your project root is where your Scaffoldable live
templates_root = File.join(project_root, 'templates') # Specify the dir in which you drop your templates

scaffold :Model do |name, attribute| # Create a scaffold that you will call to generate files

  # Prepare your data before to generate files
  data = OpenStruct.new()
  data.name = name = name.capitalize
  data.attribute = attribute = attribute.downcase

  # This will generate a file Model.java by executing the template Model.java.erb with data
  generate('Model.java.erb', "#{name}.java", data)

  # This will print console output asking to edit Controller.java by executing the template Controller.java.erb with data
  chunk('Controller.java.erb', 'Controller.java', data)
end

Create the two templates in ./templates/:

Model.java.erb:

public class <%= name %> {
	int <%= attribute %> = 0;
}

Controller.java.erb:

	Add the following attribute:
	<%= name %> <%= name.downcase %> = new <%= name %>();

Let's scaffold!

Open a terminal in your project and run: cd your/project

Then generate a new "Model" by running:

$ scaffoldish Model herp derp

It print that in your console, indicating what you should add to your Controller.java.

Run Model:
Edit Controller.java:
	Add the following attribute:
	Herp herp = new Herp();

It also generate the model Herp

Herp.java:

public class Herp {
	int derp = 0;
}
