1
 
Description:
2
 
    Stubs out a new model. Pass the model name, either CamelCased or
3
 
    under_scored, and an optional list of attribute pairs as arguments.
4
 
 
5
 
    Attribute pairs are column_name:sql_type arguments specifying the
6
 
    model's attributes. Timestamps are added by default, so you don't have to
7
 
    specify them by hand as 'created_at:datetime updated_at:datetime'.
8
 
 
9
 
    You don't have to think up every attribute up front, but it helps to
10
 
    sketch out a few so you can start working with the model immediately.
11
 
 
12
 
    This generates a model class in app/models, a unit test in test/unit,
13
 
    a test fixture in test/fixtures/singular_name.yml, and a migration in
14
 
    db/migrate.
15
 
 
16
 
Examples:
17
 
    `./script/generate model account`
18
 
 
19
 
        creates an Account model, test, fixture, and migration:
20
 
            Model:      app/models/account.rb
21
 
            Test:       test/unit/account_test.rb
22
 
            Fixtures:   test/fixtures/accounts.yml
23
 
            Migration:  db/migrate/XXX_add_accounts.rb
24
 
 
25
 
    `./script/generate model post title:string body:text published:boolean`
26
 
 
27
 
        creates a Post model with a string title, text body, and published flag.
