Overview

Padrino provides generator support for quickly creating new Padrino applications. This provides many benefits such as constructing the recommended Padrino application structure, auto-generating a Gemfile listing all starting dependencies and guidelines provided within the generated files to help orient a new user to using Padrino.

One important feature of the generators is that they were built from the ground up to support a wide variety of tools, libraries and gems for use within your Padrino application.

This means that Padrino generators do not lock you into using any particular database, ORM, testing framework, templating engine or JavaScript library. In fact, when generating an application you can actually tell Padrino which components you would like to use!
