Limit files created with the rails g controller command

Development environment

rails 6.0.3 (Assuming a project that does not use * Minitest *)

Description

rails g controller <controller name> <action name> Will create ** unnecessary files ** in addition to controller and view.

To avoid this, create the following files in the rails project, When executing the rails g controller command ** Prevent files other than controller and view from being created **.

config/initializers/generators.rb

Rails.application.config.generators do |g|
  g.assets false
  g.helper false
  g.skip_routes true
end

If creating the above file is troublesome, Execute the rails g controller command with the following three options added.

Terminal

rails g controller <Controller name> <Action name> --no-assets --no-helper --skip-routes

The above has the following merits. -** stylesheets files are not created under ʻapp / assets / **. -** Helper file is not created under ʻapp / helpers / . - Routing is not added to config / routes.rb **.
