To me, tgcrud is a "Keep simple things simple and complex things possible" tool. I have some tgapps upon the tgcrud generated subcontrollers(packages).
Let's take identity for example. You'll be happy with catwalk if you use SQLObject. Since you don't need to configure anything and get a pretty admin interface. But once you need to expose that interface to users. You'd re-implement some functions that catwalk provide. Here's tgcrud come to play. With tgcrud you could easily get a subcontroller packages which able to deal with a model data manipulation. At this time you don't need to involve too much to get the same functionality as you get in catwalk. Since the generated subcontroller is a normal tg subcontroller. You could add some extra model-related methods upon it. Or custom the templates....,etc. Hope the explanation helps. :P -- Fred On 6月26日, 下午12時01分, gasolin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, tgcrud looks great indeed, how does it compare to catwalk in terms > > of intended usage and features? > > > Daniel > > A quick answer is the philosophy of tgcrud is different from catwalk > and fastdata. > > Catwalk and Fastdata are a kind of automatic admin generation tools > based on models. > While you just start a project, you get free beers with them. > > tgcrud is a generator which produce a pre-configured subcontroller > folders.
