|
|
Attribute pairs are column_name:sql_type arguments specifying the
|
|
|
|
model's attributes. Timestamps are added by default, so you don't have to
|
|
|
|
specify them by hand as 'created_at:datetime updated_at:datetime'.

|
You don't have to think up every attribute up front, but it helps to
|
|
|
|
sketch out a few so you can start working with the model immediately.
