Re: Is bake DRY?

First you scaffold...
then you write the methods you want to actually implement
then you turn off scaffolding.
then you haven't repeated yourself ;)

I don't actually bake the default CRUD because it doesn't "fat model" at all and I end up needing to rewrite a bunch of stuff that was baked....

Although I have been developing with cake for some time (generally

bake utility duplicating so many nearly identical copies of every
action and every view all across your system, in a seemingly total
contradiction of DRY principles.

Why would you want basically the same code duplicated all across your
app?

Wouldn't it be smarter for bake to create a single instance of generic
crud ops in the AppController, with a single admin_index.ctp
configurable for  cols, labels, models, error msgs, fields, etc. and
if there is nothing configured, it defaults to what it can learn from
the database?

The generic actions/views could always be overrided in specific
controllers.

Anyone have a clue why bake works this way?
