   1 Description:
   2     Scaffolds an entire resource, from model and migration to controller and
   3     views, along with a full test suite. The resource is ready to use as a
   4     starting point for your RESTful, resource-oriented application.
   5
   6     Pass the name of the model (in singular form), either CamelCased or
   7     under_scored, as the first argument, and an optional list of attribute
   8     pairs.
   9
  10     Attribute pairs are column_name:sql_type arguments specifying the
  11     model's attributes. Timestamps are added by default, so you don't have to
  12     specify them by hand as 'created_at:datetime updated_at:datetime'.
  13
  14     You don't have to think up every attribute up front, but it helps to
  15     sketch out a few so you can start working with the resource immediately.
  16
  17     For example, 'scaffold post title:string body:text published:boolean'
  18     gives you a model with those three attributes, a controller that handles
  19     the create/show/update/destroy, forms to create and edit your posts, and
  20     an index that lists them all, as well as a map.resources :posts
  21     declaration in config/routes.rb.
  22
  23     If you want to remove all the generated files, run
  24     'script/destroy scaffold ModelName'.

  26 Examples:
  27     `./script/generate scaffold post`
  28     `./script/generate scaffold post title:string body:text published:boolean`
  29     `./script/generate scaffold purchase order_id:integer amount:decimal`
