   1 Description:
   2     Stubs out a new model. Pass the model name, either CamelCased or
   3     under_scored, and an optional list of attribute pairs as arguments.
   4
   5     Attribute pairs are column_name:sql_type arguments specifying the
   6     model's attributes. Timestamps are added by default, so you don't have to
   7     specify them by hand as 'created_at:datetime updated_at:datetime'.
   8
   9     You don't have to think up every attribute up front, but it helps to
  10     sketch out a few so you can start working with the model immediately.
  11
  12     This generates a model class in app/models, a unit test in test/unit,
  13     a test fixture in test/fixtures/singular_name.yml, and a migration in
  14     db/migrate.
  15
  16 Examples:
  17     `./script/generate model account`
  18
  19         creates an Account model, test, fixture, and migration:
  20             Model:      app/models/account.rb
  21             Test:       test/unit/account_test.rb
  22             Fixtures:   test/fixtures/accounts.yml
  23             Migration:  db/migrate/XXX_add_accounts.rb
  24
  25     `./script/generate model post title:string body:text published:boolean`
  26
  27         creates a Post model with a string title, text body, and published flag.
