Class Scaffold

Scaffolding is a set of automatic actions for starting web development work faster.

Scaffold inspects your database tables, and making educated guesses, sets up a number of pages for each of your Models. These pages have data forms that work, and afford the web developer an early look at the data, and the possibility to over-ride scaffolded actions with custom-made ones.
