Rails 3.2 puts 's' behind generated scaffold

Question

I'm wondering if i can generate a scaffold without getting that annyoing s after all scaffolds.

For example, when I run rails generate scaffold product, rails generates a scaffold called products.

Answer 1

You can modify config/initializers/inflections.rb and provide custom Inflections for words that you want to pluralize/singularize differently. Something like:

ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
  inflect.uncountable "product"
end

would make it so rails g scaffold Product ... wouldn't pluralize the table name and controller name.

However, I would advise against doing this en masse, or just because you don't like pluralization. One of Rails strengths is "Convention over Configuration", and like in several cases, if you're not following the convention, it will be more trouble than it's worth in the long run.
