Add an option to model generator to generate classes with ActiveRecord::Model

[guilleiguaran]

This add an option to model generator to generate classes that use ActiveRecord::Model. Ex:

rails g model Post --with-include

will generate:

class Post
  include ActiveRecord::Model
end

Please don't merge this inmediatly, I think we can choose a better option name than --with-include for this

Thanks for the patch.

However, I'm not sure about this:

• Feels premature, I'd rather wait and see what the take-up on AR::Model is before adding extra 'stuff' for it
• Not a huge gain - is not much to type out manually
• Alternatively, we might consider adding an app-wide option in the future instead
• Alternatively, we might just switch to generating with AR::Model by default in the future, when it is more proven/stable

But, I am biased because I never use generators (except for migrations).

TBH, I'd like to see this bake in master for a while before we start adding generators. Right now, I think this is an "advanced users" feature, and I don't think advanced users need / user generators. But that's my 2cents.

Agree, we can leave this open and revisit it on the next months

I 👍 this. Any thoughts on this @tenderlove / @wycats?

[josevalim]

I still think the points given by @jonleighton and @tenderlove still apply. We will only be able to decide this after 4.0 is out.

Hey guys, do we keep this around opened for more time, or should we consider it closed?

[rafaelfranca]

Lets just close it.

Closed.
