How to create view in RoR if skipped during controller generation

  1. When I run this:

    rails generate controller hello index

    it no doubt generates hello controller, but accidentally when I run another command like this:

    rails generate controller world

    it creates the world controller successfully, but missed the Route "world/index" like as "hello/index". For this mistake I need to use destroy controller and then generate it once more, is thr some kind of mid way command that I can generate if forgotten something rather than destroying and creating every time.

  2. This command

    rails generate controller contact-us index

    creates a route as contact_us/index or contact_us after changing routes.rb under config folder. How could I create a more SEO friendly URL in RoR? Like localhost:3000/contact-us?

  3. I am working on some very basic rules to follow RoR..like 3 static pages (Home, About us, Contact Us) Just simple html content to understand more, will certainly add more features to it as well.

    localhost:3000/home
localhost:3000/About_us
localhost:3000/contact_us

    I created this via creating home, About_us, contact_us controller command and then changed html in views. Since I am on an initial phase, I read somewhere for static pages we can create this in our public like what we have error pages there in the folder or the approach im using is correct?

when you use rails generator it will create controller and view folder for it 

rails generate controller test

will create test_controller.rb and view/test folder rails generate controller test index will create test_controller.rb and view/test/index.html.erb file as well as define a route for you

However what its sounds like you are trying to do is have single controller with static pages what i would suggest you do is generate home_controller with home, aboutus, and contact actions and than map the routes to them like so

rails generate controller home

controllers/home.rb

HomeController < ApplicationController
  def index
  end
  def about_us
  end
  def contact
  end
end

routes.rb

match '/home', :to => 'home#index'
match '/About_us', :to => 'home#about_us'
match '/Contact_us' , :to=> 'home#contact_us'

and than define your views in 

views/home/index.html.erb
views/home/about_us.html.erb
views/home/contact_us.html.erb
