+Description:
+    Stubs out a new resource including an empty model and controller suitable
+    for a restful, resource-oriented application. Pass the singular model name,
+    either CamelCased or under_scored, as the first argument, and an optional
+    list of attribute pairs.
+
+    Attribute pairs are field: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.
+
+    This generator invokes your configured ORM and test framework, besides
+    creating helpers and add routes to config/routes.rb.
+
+    Unlike the scaffold generator, the resource generator does not create
+    views or add any methods to the generated controller.
+
+Examples:
+    `./script/generate resource post` # no attributes
+    `./script/generate resource post title:string body:text published:boolean`
+    `./script/generate resource purchase order_id:integer amount:decimal`
