AjaxScaffold approved for Rails Day

AjaxScaffold has been deprecated in favor of ActiveScaffold

I just got word from Eric Wagoner, of farmnotebook.com fame, that AjaxScaffoldGenerator has been approved for use during Rails Day. I’ve also heard from many rubyists in the Atlanta area that he put on a great presentation of ASG for AtlRUG. Excellent news all around.

I’ve just discovered ajaxscaffold—hot stuff.

As a next step in development of the scaffold, I’d love to see all the embedded views for related tables generated automatically (as an option, of course). I don’t agree with the rails cop-out that foreign keys are not universal. There are simple ways to get this information even for MySQL. I had developed a system like this about 7 years ago, but didn’t have the time to make it as solid and elegant an interface as this. (nor was Ajax on the map).

If you are interested in this idea, I may be able to convince my employer to let me work on it on the clock. Let me know.

Thanks for the great scaffold generator.

Josh: I can’t say for absolute certian, but my lightly modified ASG in SlimTimer (which runs on EdgeRails) works just fine. Your answer is somewhere in there between all the disclaimers I’m sure :)

Cool! My team and I were just discussing using ASG for our Railsday project earlier this evening. Do you know if ASG works in the current edge Rails?
