Description:
The resource generator creates an empty model, controller, and functional
suitable for inclusion in a REST-like, resource-oriented application.
The generator takes the name of the model as its first argument. This
model name is then pluralized to get the controller name. So "resource
post" will generate a Post model and a PostsController and will be
intended for URLs like /posts and /posts/45.
As additional parameters, the generator will take attribute pairs
described by name and type. These attributes will be used to
prepopulate the migration to create the table for the model. For
example, "resource post title:string created_on:date body:text
published:boolean" will give you a Post model with those four attributes.
You don't have to think up all attributes up front, but it's a good
idea of adding just the baseline of what's needed to start really
working with the resource.
The generator also adds an appropriate map.resources declaration to
your config/routes.rb file, hooking up the rules that'll point URLs to
this new resource.
Unlike the scaffold_resource generator, the resource generator does not
create views or add any methods to the generated controller.
Examples:
./script/generate resource post # no attributes
./script/generate resource post title:string created_on:date body:text published:boolean
./script/generate resource purchase order_id:integer created_at:datetime amount:decimal
