Re-Generating Scaffold

Question

Is there any way to re-generate views from newly updated model?

Answer 1

Unless you've made a lot of changes to the scaffold, it's probably easier just to overwrite the current scaffold:

./script/generate -f scaffold Model

Answer 2

I had the same need, I just backed up some changes and did a destroy/generate, Take care, destroy deletes Everything related to the Model :

rails destroy scaffold Model -f

before I generate again.

rails generate scaffold Model

Answer 3

The scaffold is not intended to create the interface, only to make a starting point for further development. I'm not sure it's even possible (without a lot of unnecessary work) to redo a scaffold, it's much quicker to manually edit the view and controller anyway.
