In order to test our packages, we will create a simple application that will handle dummy items. Just to be perfectly clear, we are not interested here by the ultimate goal of the application; this is just a test application. Most of the work will be done inside the packages. The user interface and the model will therefore be very simple and will be fully generated by the scaffold command of the oil utility. The packages will later be connected to the creation and edition features to determine whether or not the visitor is human.

First, generate the scaffold using the following command:

php oil generate scaffold/crud item name:string

It will print the following output:
