Description:
The model generator creates stubs for a new model.
The generator takes a model name as its argument. The model name may be given in CamelCase or under_score and
should not be suffixed with 'Model'.
As additional parameters, the generator will take attribute pairs described by name and type. These attributes will
be used to prepopulate the migration to create the table for the model and give you a set of predefined fixture. By
default, created_at and updated_at timestamps are added to migration for you, so you needn't specify them by hand.
You don't have to think up all attributes up front, but it's a good idea of adding just the baseline of what's
needed to start really working with the resource.
The generator creates a model class in app/models, a test suite in test/unit, test fixtures in
test/fixtures/singular_name.yml, and a migration in db/migrate.
Examples:
./script/generate model account
This will create an Account model:
Model: app/models/account.rb
Test: test/unit/account_test.rb
Fixtures: test/fixtures/accounts.yml
Migration: db/migrate/XXX_add_accounts.rb
./script/generate model post title:string body:text published:boolean
Creates post model with predefined attributes.
