Question

I am using CakePHP. I have learnt about the concept of scaffolding in it, it seems to be good concept. But my question is that Is it a good practice to use scaffolding for production level app development as official CakePHP documentation says that It isn’t meant to be completely flexible, it’s meant as a temporary way to get up and going..

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The documentation says that it’s not flexible enough. However it still works, also when debug level is 0.

Scaffolding is Automatic CRUD creation. cakephp generates CRUD when you bake.

Scaffold has the advantage that it’s meant for early stage of development.

but i suggest not to use it because at any stage you will need to write your own code.
But for application which are not frequently get changed its really helps.
