Generate Models & Controllers from Ruby program

Hi All.

I would like to create a model, database, and controller (if possible)
from a webapp. Each model and controller will each have 4 methods, and
the database will always have the same number of fields. I will
probably create the database through create_table or a direct SQL
command.

My question is this - is there a method that I can call to create the
model and controllers? Would it be easier/simpler/cleaner/better/sexier
to have the current (main) model create dynamic methods? If so, how can
I do that?

Domo arigato in advance.

That seems like a very dangerous and scary thing to do. I suppose you
can use the backticks to execute command line operations but I wouldn’t
unless you have a VERY good reason.

But assuming you do have a very good reason, I think it works like this:

ruby script/generate controller hello_world index list show

not 100% sure though

I figured as much, and I don’t think I have a good enough reason!

I will instead try to make dynamically created methods or generic
methods.

Thanks!
