Keep the same concept, only renaming the attributes like 'createUsers' to 'users'. (Create is something implicit). Makes sense?

I'm not specialist in this scaffolding topic, but my idea is: if the user specify true generate pages & endpoints, if they don't want jsp pages, just delete it.

Maybe "login":"otp"|"default"

Here comes the config file commented my friend https://gist.github.com/abstractj/53ce0a9faae482151da2
