|
|
The generator takes a model name as its argument. The model name may be given in CamelCase or under_score and
|
|
|
|
should not be suffixed with 'Model'.

|
|
As additional parameters, the generator will take attribute pairs described by name and type. These attributes will
|
|
|
|
be used to prepopulate the migration to create the table for the model and give you a set of predefined fixture.
|
|
|
|
You don't have to think up all attributes up front, but it's a good idea of adding just the baseline of what's
|
|
|
|
needed to start really working with the resource.

The generator creates a model class in app/models, a test suite in test/unit, test fixtures in
|
|
|
|
test/fixtures/singular_name.yml, and a migration in db/migrate.
