Rails pluralizing when not supposed to?

Rails
#1

lo there all.

i am having a strange problem with generating a scaffold.
everything is pluralized.

for example, if i do a script/generate scaffold Admin ( the example in
my book )
instead of admin_controller.rb i get admins_controller.rb
instead of /app/views/admin i get /app/views/admins

is there a configuration setting that i am missing ?

thanks

pluralization is by design.
try this in your environment.rb do disable pluralization if you need.

ActiveRecord::Base.pluralize_table_names = false

ok, well, is this something i should do ? should i go with the table
names pluralized instead of not.
I mean, if pluralization is by design, should i change that ?

thanks

Hi,

Just go with the flow.
If its a new app and you are in control.
Who cares if my table is called ‘vehicle’ or ‘vehicles’.
Check out migrations.

Controllers and paths should be the plural of the model name,
so you should be on the right track now.

ok, now my table names are plural,
i have users, groups, stations, etc…
so when the scaffold is generated i should have plural controllers ?
like users_controller.rb ?
and /app/views/users/ and so on. this is all ok?
if so, great, i will not sweat it any more.

thanks for your help
