CakePHP: Using scaffolding for rapid application building
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008
That’s right, I’m still on my CakePHP journey. I’ve been spending quite a bit of time now trying to match what I want to build with how to go about doing it in CakePHP. We all know that the blog example is pretty simplistic - a real world app won’t be quite so straightforward. At the moment, I’m trying to build up an intranet of sorts, with lots of different independant apps, and it’s driving me crazy… How would I structure the it? Should I use ‘plugins’? The folders, the views etc. Yes, it’s all still a big mess.
In any case, I found that CakePHP has a really nifty feature that really helps with sorting out the mess, and it’s called “scaffolding”.
