I would like to create a structure with rails g scaffold Article, but I have already created the table Articles and model Articles.

Is there any way to do that?

A short note: attribute names to be included in the generated views need adding otherwise the views will only contain the stub (at least for Rails 4). – smile2day Jul 31 '13 at 10:22
When run `scaffold_controller` generator script in Rails 4 found some bugs, if i don't make mistake. Generator `scaffold_controller` didn't create routes. It's normal? – Kirill Warp Aug 22 '13 at 12:53

Use rails generate scaffold_controller Article with parameters, example:

rails g scaffold_controller Article title:string body:text

Create views with attributes in tables

This is the better answer because this is the only one which also includes the data fields you'd like your views to incorporate. – Akash Agarwal Sep 07 '17 at 06:08
