I am trying to generate a controller with all the RESTful actions stubbed. I had read at Wikibooks - Ruby on Rails that all I needed to do was to call the generator with the co
EDIT(due to some comments) : Original question was in 2010 - hence the answer is NOT for RAILS 4 , but for rails 2!!
try using scaffolding.
script/generate scaffold controller Properties
Section of Official docs on Ruby On Rails
I'm sure you can find more info if you do a google search on rails scaffolding. Hope that helps.
EDIT: For RAILS 4
rails g scaffold_controller Property
Rails 5.1
You have created a model without a controller, nor views (eg thru: rails generate model category
)
Upgrade it to a full RESTful resource
rails generate scaffold_controller category
It stubs out a scaffolded controller, its seven RESTful actions and related views. (Note: You can either pass the model name CamelCased or under_scored.)

One solution is to create a script that accepts one parameter, the controller name, and let the script type the whole command for you.
die () {
echo "Please supply new rails controller name to generate."
echo >&2 "$@"
exit 1
}
[ "$#" -eq 1 ] || die "1 argument required, $# provided"
rails g controller "$1" new create update edit destroy show index
I don't know about an automated way of doing it, but if you do:
script/generate controller your_model_name_in_plural new create update edit destroy index show
All of them will be created for you
Update for Rails 4
rails g scaffold_controller Property
