MVC3 Scaffolding - customize view templates

Question

I'm using the MVCScaffolding nuget package.

Where can I find documentation on the values we can use when customizing our MVC scaffolding templates?

i.e. I have done

PM> scaffold CustomTemplate View Edit

which creates the Edit.cs.t4 template for me. It has things like:

<#= Model.ViewDataTypeName  ?? String.Empty #>

I would like to use something like

<#= Model.ViewDataPluralisedName  ?? String.Empty #>

but because there is no Intellisense, I have no idea what fields are available to me.

Does someone know where the documentation for this is?

Answer 1

I couldn't find any documentation, but I was able to find out what I needed to know by downloading the mvc scaffolding source code from http://mvcscaffolding.codeplex.com/ and looking in there.
