Undo scaffolding in Rails

Question

Is there any way to 'undo' the effects of a scaffold command in Rails?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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

 rails generate scaffold ... 

 rails destroy scaffold ...
