julia> using Genie
julia> Genie.Generator.newresource("dashboard", pluralize = false)

This will create a new controller file, app/resources/dashboard/DashboardController.jl.

For the dashboard component, we will introduce a new paradigm of programming, by using low code to create reactive web user interfaces. What does this mean? When creating our to-do list, we used pure web development techniques, writing low-level web user interfaces using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. However, Genie provides a more productive way of creating web user interfaces using low-code and reactive programming. This way, we can create web UIs without having to write HTML and JavaScript code. We do this by employing a series of Genie packages that give...
