# Rails::Generator is a code generation platform tailored for the Rails
# web application framework.  Generators are easily invoked within Rails
# applications to add and remove components such as models and controllers.
# New generators are easy to create and may be distributed as RubyGems or
# tarballs for inclusion system-wide, per-user, or per-application.
#
# Generators may subclass other generators to provide variations that
# require little or no new logic but replace the template files.
# The postback generator is an example:  it subclasses the scaffold
# generator and just replaces the code templates with its own.
#
# Now go forth and multiply^Wgenerate.

    # The base code generator is bare-bones.  It sets up the source and
    # destination paths and tells the logger whether to keep its trap shut.
    # You're probably looking for NamedBase, a subclass meant for generating
    # "named" components such as models, controllers, and mailers.
    #
    # Generators create a manifest of the actions they perform then hand
    # the manifest to a command which replay the actions to do the heavy
    # lifting.  Create, destroy, and list commands are included.  Since a
    # single manifest may be used by any command, creating new generators is
    # as simple as writing some code templates and declaring what you'd like
    # to do with them.
    #
    # The manifest method must be implemented by subclasses, returning a
    # Rails::Generator::Manifest.  The record method is provided as a
    # convenience for manifest creation.  Example:
    #   class EliteGenerator < Rails::Generator::Base
    #     def manifest
    #       record do |m|
    #         m.do(some)
    #         m.things(in) { here }
    #       end
    #     end
    #   end
