Bake Templates

Custom Bake Themes

Create a directory structure in your app:

app/Console/Templates/myTheme/
├── classes/
│   ├── controller.ctp
│   ├── model.ctp
│   └── fixture.ctp
└── views/
    ├── index.ctp
    ├── view.ctp
    └── form.ctp

Then use your theme:

app/Console/cake bake controller Users --theme myTheme
