Undo scaffolding in Rails

ruby-on-rails ruby scaffolding

First, if you have already run the migrations generated by the scaffold command, you have to perform a rollback first.

rake db:rollback

You can create scaffolding using:

rails generate scaffold MyFoo

(or similar), and you can destroy/undo it using

rails destroy scaffold MyFoo

That will delete all the files created by generate, but not any additional changes you may have made manually.

ruby-on-rails ruby scaffolding

Rishav Rastogi is right, and with rails 3.0 or higher its:

rails generate scaffold ...

rails destroy scaffold ...

ruby-on-rails ruby scaffolding

You can undo whatever you did with

rails generate xxx

rails destroy xxx

For example this applies generators to migration, scaffold, model...etc
