Description:
Stubs out a new model. Pass the model name, either CamelCased or under_scored, and an optional list of attribute pairs as arguments. 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, which defaults to ActiveRecord and TestUnit. Finally, if --parent option is given, it's used as superclass of the created model. This allows you create Single Table Inheritance models. If you pass a namespaced model name (e.g. admin/account or Admin::Account) then the generator will create a module with a table_name_prefix method to prefix the model's table name with the module name (e.g. admin_account)
Examples:
`rails generate model account`
For ActiveRecord and TestUnit it creates:
Model: app/models/account.rb
Test: test/unit/account_test.rb
Fixtures: test/fixtures/accounts.yml
Migration: db/migrate/XXX_add_accounts.rb
`rails generate model post title:string body:text published:boolean`
Creates a Post model with a string title, text body, and published flag.
`rails generate model admin/account`
For ActiveRecord and TestUnit it creates:
Module: app/models/admin.rb
Model: app/models/admin/account.rb
Test: test/unit/admin/account_test.rb
Fixtures: test/fixtures/admin/accounts.yml
Migration: db/migrate/XXX_add_admin_accounts.rb
