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.
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.
