Nifty Generators is an archived Ruby gem containing generator scripts for older Rails applications. It was built to reduce repetitive setup work for layouts, scaffolds, configuration files, and basic authentication. The scaffold generator lets developers choose which controller actions to create and can optionally generate a model and migration. The package supports Rails 2 and Rails 3 through separate generator structures and command conventions. Generated code can work with HAML, Shoulda, and RSpec, while help commands explain the available options. The project is no longer maintained, so it is best suited to legacy codebases, historical reference, or forks that need modernization.

  • Layout generator
  • Selective scaffold generation
