Rails Generate Controller Commands

Typical Rails Generate Controller Command

Rails generate commands are great for cranking out boilerplate code that you can later go back and customize.

Here, I create a Rails Controller and associated files...

$ be rails g controller Application index static
Rails.env: (development), using rails_env: (development)
    conflict  app/controllers/application_controller.rb
Overwrite /hs/dev/find-activities/api-fa/app/controllers/application_controller.rb? (enter "h" for help) [Ynaqdh]
       force  app/controllers/application_controller.rb
       route  get "application/static"
       route  get "application/index"
      invoke  erb
      create    app/views/application
      create    app/views/application/index.html.erb
      create    app/views/application/static.html.erb
      invoke  test_unit
      create    test/functional/application_controller_test.rb
      invoke  helper
   identical    app/helpers/application_helper.rb
      invoke    test_unit
      create      test/unit/helpers/application_helper_test.rb
      invoke  assets
      invoke    coffee
      create      app/assets/javascripts/application.js.coffee
      invoke    scss
      create      app/assets/stylesheets/application.css.scss

Rails Destroy Controller Command

I decided that I did not want the test files. So, I removed all the files that were generated

$ be rails d controller Application index static
Rails.env: (development), using rails_env: (development)
      remove  app/controllers/application_controller.rb
       route  get "application/static"
       route  get "application/index"
      invoke  erb
      remove    app/views/application
      remove    app/views/application/index.html.erb
      remove    app/views/application/static.html.erb
      invoke  test_unit
      remove    test/functional/application_controller_test.rb
      invoke  helper
      remove    app/helpers/application_helper.rb
      invoke    test_unit
      remove      test/unit/helpers/application_helper_test.rb
      invoke  assets
      invoke    coffee
      remove      app/assets/javascripts/application.js.coffee
      invoke    scss
      remove      app/assets/stylesheets/application.css.scss

With No Test Files

Here, I generate the files without the test files.

$ be rails g controller Application index static  --no-test-framework
Rails.env: (development), using rails_env: (development)
      create  app/controllers/application_controller.rb
       route  get "application/static"
       route  get "application/index"
      invoke  erb
      create    app/views/application
      create    app/views/application/index.html.erb
      create    app/views/application/static.html.erb
      invoke  helper
      create    app/helpers/application_helper.rb
      invoke  assets
      invoke    coffee
      create      app/assets/javascripts/application.js.coffee
      invoke    scss
      create      app/assets/stylesheets/application.css.scss
