Description

Hello! This is a continuation of a conversation that started on Twitter. Just creating this issue to start the conversation around this feature.

It would be really useful to have a scaffolding generator, much like Rails, which would provide the basic CRUD operations. This would also serve as an example of how to wire up views, create forms, and work with CDQ. A simple ToDo list example app would go a long way in helping beginners to learn iOS/ProMotion/RedPotion. I don't know of anything like that.

Another common task is working with an API. Another potential scaffolding generator could be the same CRUD operations using AFMotion instead of CDQ.

Let me know what the next steps would be in implementing this. I'm happy to help. Though I must admit that I'm still relatively new to iOS/RubyMotion development.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the RedPotion project and the referenced CDQ and AFMotion integrations. The issue is a broad proposal for CRUD scaffolding and a ToDo example, so first clarify whether either generator is in scope and how it should work. Done would require an agreed design and implementation scope rather than a single defined change.
