Rail Basics : What happens when you script/generate controller ?

What do you think will happen if you script/generate controller  ?

Why wonder, just do it :-)

If you are using Ubuntu 9.04, just open a Terminal Window and cd to the root of your Rails applications and type script/generate controller -- as follows :-

chee@ibm4linux:~/workspace/crm2009$ script/generate controller

After pressing Enter, this is what you will see.

Description:
    Stubs out a new controller and its views. Pass the controller name, either
    CamelCased or under_scored, and a list of views as arguments.

    To create a controller within a module, specify the controller name as a
    path like 'parent_module/controller_name'.

    This generates a controller class in app/controllers, view templates in
    app/views/controller_name, a helper class in app/helpers, a functional
    test suite in test/functional and a helper test suite in test/unit/helpers.

Example:
    `./script/generate controller CreditCard open debit credit close`

    Credit card controller with URLs like /credit_card/debit.
        Controller:      app/controllers/credit_card_controller.rb
        Functional Test: test/functional/credit_card_controller_test.rb
        Views:           app/views/credit_card/debit.html.erb [...]
        Helper:          app/helpers/credit_card_helper.rb
        Helper Test:     test/unit/helpers/credit_card_helper_test.rb

Modules Example:
    `./script/generate controller 'admin/credit_card' suspend late_fee`

    Credit card admin controller with URLs /admin/credit_card/suspend.
        Controller:      app/controllers/admin/credit_card_controller.rb
        Functional Test: test/functional/admin/credit_card_controller_test.rb
        Views:           app/views/admin/credit_card/debit.html.erb [...]
        Helper:          app/helpers/admin/credit_card_helper.rb
        Helper Test:     test/unit/helpers/admin/credit_card_helper_test.rb
