Re: [forge-dev] Generate Code with Forge

Hi Rafael! What you want to do sounds really interesting! Have you taken a look at the forge-scaffold-api? Its located as a sub-folder of the github repository that you just cloned. This will let you use the 'scaffold from-entity' command to invoke your code, and it will also let people use the familiar api. We can also make some improvements to that api if you need it :) -- Lincoln Baxter's Droid http://ocpsoft.com "Keep it Simple" On Oct 23, 2011 10:03 AM, "Rafael Pestano" <rmpestano(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > I was meaning just clone it ;) > > Nice to hear about the scaffolding plugin. > > 2011/10/23 Paul Bakker <paul.bakker.nl(a)gmail.com&gt; > >> Hi Rafael, >> >> What do you mean by clone and forge the project?
