I have been developing a simple extension, using the Creating Radiant  
Extensions tutorial as a reference. I would like to flesh out my  
controller from the simple ‘scaffold :link’, and customise the views.  
In a normal Rails project, I would use

```
 script/generate scaffold ModelName [ControllerName] [action, ...]

```

This generator doesn’t appear to be available from the root of a  
radiant project. I’m just wondering if there is anything equivalent.  
If not, do extension authors tend to write all controllers/views from  
scratch?

Thanks,

Drew

Personally, since most of my controllers are for resources, I use the  
make\_resourceful plugin. It saves a lot of time, but I still have to  
make the views.
