Description:
Stubs out a new model. Pass the model name, either CamelCased or
under_scored, and an optional list of attribute pairs as arguments.
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
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'.
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
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.
2007-01-22 14:43:50 +01:00
This generates a model class in app/models, a unit test in test/unit,
a test fixture in test/fixtures/singular_name.yml, and a migration in
db/migrate.
