A collection of hacks to the Rails scaffold generator, to make it output templates using Haml rather than ERB. You may like some of it, and may hate other parts. You’re free to use it under the terms of the MIT license if the parts you like outweigh the parts you hate.
This scaffold generator does the same thing as the default Rails scaffold generator, with a few differences.
-
Haml not ERB.
-
Loads object with a before_filter to be DRYer.
-
“Destroy” method handles error conditions.
-
Actions are alphabetized for more obvious consistency.
-
Uses will_paginate.
-
Tests error conditions, not just the “happy-path.”
-
Has 100% code coverage with RCov.
-
Simplifies test method names and alphabetizes them for more obvious consistency.
-
Uses some very simple mocking with mocha to limit calls to the DB.
-
Have cleaner, more semantic XHTML.
-
Are broken up into a couple of partials to be DRYer.
-
Use will_paginate.
-
Doesn’t generate a layout or CSS file.
HAML Scaffold is available on RubyForge as a gem:
sudo gem install haml_scaffold
You can also install it as a Rails plugin if you wish:
./script/plugin install git://github.com/norman/haml-scaffold.git
The generated code will depend on:
You’ll need to add the gems and/or requires to your config/environment.rb manually.

Randomba scaffold (like this one, but ERB)
