Scaffolfding

• To perform CRUD(Create, Read, Update and Delete) we need to create model, view for all the functions and controller with each action item. It involves lot of code needs to be written

• Scaffolding provides a feature to just select template and model, which in turn automatically creates controller with all methods and their views.
