SilverStripe Framework, application structure and code generator

[Amós Oviedo Oviedo]

Hi,

I am a newbie in SilverStripe and I have some doubts about its
framework features. My consultation is about the standalone framework
features. Is there planned a tool for creating the structure and
template CRUD code generator for applications? When I say template, I
mean in models, views and controllers. I ask this because I think It's
one of the most interesting feature for rapid app development in a
framework. Maybe It's a bit hard work this feature but saves a lot of
time when you start a project. Now I am finishing one made in Yii
Framework, and It was one of the most interesting tool for me,
defining the database structure and finally generating the code from
it. It's not the same changing some code than generating it from
scratch :)

I hope I have explained it clearly because my english is not as good
as I would like :)

Thank you very much and best regards.

ModelAdmin and GenericViews?

It's not exactly what I was looking for but It is a good start point.
It's based in metadata, but in what I was thinking is reengineering
from database. Really for me the way of generating the code doesn't
matter, so I'll have a look to genericviews because I am really
interested on it.

Thanks.

SilverStripe takes your code and generates the DB Schema.  It sounds like you are looking for Schema to Code generation. This is not really part of SilverStripe, however there are systems being created that will take a YAML representation of your data and generate the code for you, which in return generates the database.

That's exactly what I meant, but I'm goging to have a look to SS way of doing the rapid development. Maybe what I asked would be able a good Project for me to learn how to use SS framework and know its features.

Thanks for your responses
