Question

If I call

rails g controller user

multiple times to add actions, is this safe?

e.g. I did ‘rails g controller user index’ but now I want to create more actions?

btw, how can I create all REST based actions automatically?

Answer 1

yesh, safe. See rails g scaffold for generating REST actions automatically, including the model and views and tests.

Note that you can also pass a option --pretend when running the generator so that it shows you what files will be created, but does not actually create the files.
