Ror generate scaffold 到底做了些什么？

当我们通过命令创建一个 scaffold 时 rails到底为我们做了些什么呢？

rails generate scaffold Post name:string title:string content:text

官方文档是这样说的：

The scaffold generator will build several files in your application, along with some folders, and editconfig/routes.rb. Here’s a quick overview of what it creates:

File	Purpose
db/migrate/20100207214725_create_posts.rb	Migration to create the posts table in your database (your name will include a different timestamp)
app/models/post.rb	The Post model
test/unit/post_test.rb	Unit testing harness for the posts model
test/fixtures/posts.yml	Sample posts for use in testing
config/routes.rb	Edited to include routing information for posts
app/controllers/posts_controller.rb	The Posts controller
app/views/posts/index.html.erb	A view to display an index of all posts
app/views/posts/edit.html.erb	A view to edit an existing post
app/views/posts/show.html.erb	A view to display a single post
app/views/posts/new.html.erb	A view to create a new post
app/views/posts/_form.html.erb	A partial to control the overall look and feel of the form used in edit and new views
test/functional/posts_controller_test.rb	Functional testing harness for the posts controller
app/helpers/posts_helper.rb	Helper functions to be used from the post views
test/unit/helpers/posts_helper_test.rb	Unit testing harness for the posts helper
app/assets/javascripts/posts.js.coffee	CoffeeScript for the posts controller
app/assets/stylesheets/posts.css.scss	Cascading style sheet for the posts controller
app/assets/stylesheets/scaffolds.css.scss	Cascading style sheet to make the scaffolded views look better

脚手架会创建生成一些文件夹及文件，并修改 config/routes.rb 文件，下面是它生成文件的概述：

db/migrate/20100207214725_create_posts.rb         

                            在你的数据库中创建 posts（帖子）表的迁移 （你的文件名中时间会和例子里不一样）

app/models/post.rb  

                            posts(帖子)的模型 model

test/unit/post_test.rb

                            posts model 的单元测试

test/fixtures/posts.yml

                            用于测试的样例数据

config/routes.rb

                            包括posts操作的路由信息

app/controllers/posts_controller.rb

                            posts的控制器 controller

app/views/posts/index.html.erb

                            用来显示所有posts的视图 view（相当与增删改查中的list页面）

                             posts控制器的功能测试

app/helpers/posts_helper.rb

                             post视图的帮助方法

test/unit/helpers/posts_helper_test.rb

                              posts helper的单元测试

app/assets/javascripts/posts.js.coffee

                              CoffeeScript for the posts controller

app/assets/stylesheets/posts.css.scss

                              posts控制器的样式

app/assets/stylesheets/scaffolds.css.scss

                               使脚手架视图更好看的样式
