You would generate server and client side at once?
Well, the iOS generation will be just one specific forge command, the rest
are just "existing/vanilla" forge commands (entiies creation, REST
endpoints creation)

generate REST endpoints and scaffold the client.

I would start with an app generated with iOS template for simple Pipe, and
then add to it. See my questions below.
> I will be glad to start on this but I would need some help from the iOS
gurus for one thing : having a clean iOS CRUD App from which I could
reverse engineer/extract the templates. This app, while staying simple,
should contain all the possible use cases : String, numbers, boolean, Date
but also some relation between entities (1-to-1, 1-to-many) :
With Pipes and Stores, we use more a Key/Value approach. Not sure what you
have in mind to represent relation.
Well, not sure how it is implemented in iOS but for instance when you
choose a team, a list of players should also be retrieved.
In term of UI what do you want to see?
first screen: Team TableView with static table cell, Players and
Tournaments cell link to second screen TableView
second screen: Player TableView with a list of player displaying only
name, selecting a player will go to third screen Player details
third screen: Player Details static table view with date display etc...
Then we might need a descriptive/configurable way of saying to forge this
is my main screen, on that list display 'player name' etc...
What's your view on that?
We could do like the grails html5 scaffold plugin : the main screen
contains a list of the entities, when you select an entity by default you
go to the list view and in the bottom bar you have a button to create a new
one.
When a entity entry is selected in the bottom bar you can : edit or delete
