Question about ruby script/generate controller

Rails
1

Imagine I have a model called blog and I then run the following
command to create a controller for it.

ruby script/generate controller Blogs index

At some later point I want to create a ‘new’ page to submit blogs. Is
there a recommended way for doing this? Should I simply create the
file app/views/blogs/new.html.erb or should I instead run the command
below? Is there any difference?

ruby script/generate controller Blogs new

Thanks

Just use your text editor of choice and create the template
file, new.html.erb.
Then you need to remember to add the action, ‘new’, to the
blogs_controller.

ruby script/generate controller Blogs new

Now, if you run the command again on the same controller, you should see
something like this:

 exists  app/controllers/
  exists  app/helpers/
  exists  app/views/posts
  exists  test/functional/
  exists  test/unit/helpers/

overwrite app/controllers/blogs_controller.rb? (enter “h” for help)

Then you can select ‘n’ if you have modified blogs_controller.rb or ‘Y’
if
have not modified this file. Then you’ll need to add the controller
action,
‘new’,
to blogs_controller.rb but you wouldn’t have to create the new.html.erb
file.

Good luck,
