Rails scaffold templates
Next, let’s change our view templates. I don’t like current ones so I took templates from rails 6.x and updated it for my needs (for bootstrap based project I’ve taken bootstrap_form gem and have changed ujs-dependent code to use hotwire). I’ve created directory lib/templates/erb/scaffold and placed my _form.html.erb.tt, edit.html.erb.tt, index.html.erb.tt, partial.html.erb.tt, new.html.erb.tt, show.html.erb.tt to that location. You can find my code below
