Scaffolding
Alloy has a built-in generator module that will help you get started with Alloy quickly by creating a new module with a skeleton Controller, Entity, and views that you can use as-is or further modify at will. The scaffolding and layout uses the Twitter Bootstrap styles as a base so the pages are not completely unstyled.
From the root project folder, the following command can be run just a normal Controller from the command line. The generator can only be run from the command line - there is currently no web interface.
php app/www/index.php -u 'generator/scaffold?name=Blog'
The generator will run and produce output like this:
Generator Module Info ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Name = Blog Namespace = Blog Datasource (Table) = blog Path = /var/www/example.com/app/Module/Blog/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + Generated 'Controller.php' + Generated 'Entity.php' + Generated 'views/indexAction.html.php' + Generated 'views/newAction.html.php' + Generated 'views/editAction.html.php' + Generated 'views/deleteAction.html.php' + Generated 'views/viewAction.html.php'
Now if you load up the website in your browser and navigate to /blog, you should see a screen that looks like this:
