Mongo DB generators

The Mongo DB Rails 3 generators includes generators for both Mongo Mapper and Mongoid.

Mongoid and Mongomapper now with Rails 3 generators

These generators have now been integrated into my forks of mongomapper and mongoid. Please let me know if they work there just as well and any ideas for further improvements.

Rails model maker

I also have a rails_model_maker project in the works on my github account. This allows a rails model "graph" be defined in yaml and all the rails model files can be generated for the model framework of choice (ActiveRecord, Datamapper, MongoMapper, Mongoid etc.).

Please assist in the effort to finish the rails_model_maker project and add "plugins" for whichever model framework you like.

Installation

Add the following to your Gemfile in your Rails 3 project:

Note: Always check if there is a more recent or better fork to use...

gem 'mongo_ext'
gem 'mongoid', :git => 'http://github.com/kristianmandrup/mongoid.git'
gem "mongo_mapper", :git => 'http://github.com/kristianmandrup/mongomapper.git'

$ bundle install

Mongoid

Includes the following generators

• mongoid:setup - setup Rails app to use Mongoid
• mongoid:model - generates a Mongoid model

Example Use:

Setup use of Mongoid

rails g mongoid:setup

Create new model Person with name attribute

  rails g mongoid:model person name:string

    field :name, :type => String

Create document Address with attributes defaulting to string

  rails g mongoid:model Address name street

    include Mongoid::Timestamps    
    field :name, :type => String    
    field :street, :type => String    
  end

Add Timestamps using -T (true by default)
