Information about this fork

This for is no longer following the normal scaffolding layout of Rails. It uses I18n backend for headings, model attributes names etc in it's views.

Rails 3 HAML Scaffold Generator

Essentially just a copy of the Rails 3 ERB generator with HAML replacements for the templates.

Original idea from Paul Barry's article on custom genrators

Installation

1. Generate your new rails application:

    rails ApplicationName
    cd ApplicationName
   

2. Edit "Gemfile" and add "gem haml" to the gem list

3. Either

    gem install haml
   

   ...or...

    bundle install
   

4. Run

    haml --rails .
   

5. Edit config/application.rb and add the following:

    config.generators do |g|
        g.template_engine :haml
    end
   

6. Either

    git clone git://github.com/dima4p/rails3_haml_scaffold_generator.git lib/generators/haml
   

   ...or...

    git submodule add git://github.com/dima4p/rails3_haml_scaffold_generator.git lib/generators/haml
   

7. Create stuff with:

    rails generate controller ControllerName index
    rails generate mailer ExamplesNotifications
    rails generate scaffold FancyModel
   

   ... or if you like to mix it up with ERB, ignore step 5 and use ...

    rails generate haml:controller ControllerName index
    rails generate haml:mailer ExamplesNotifications
    rails generate haml:scaffold FancyModel
   

8. You can also add --cancan if you use the cancan authorization rails generate scaffold FancyModel --cancan

• Gemify (?)
