sequelize model:create

[sdepold]

Description

Add sequelize model:create which generates a model and it corresponding migration file.

This task generates a model file and its respective migration.
It is necessary to specify the name of the new model as well as
the model's attributes.

The attributes can be specified as in the following (and semantically equal) examples:

    sequelize model:create --name User --attributes first_name:string,last_name:string,bio:text
    sequelize model:create --name User --attributes "first_name:string last_name:string bio:text"
    sequelize model:create --name User --attributes "first_name:string, last_name:string, bio:text"

This command will generate a new migration and model definition:

    // the model file
    // located under models/user.js
    module.exports = function(sequelize, DataTypes) {
      var User = sequelize.define('User', {
        first_name: DataTypes.STRING,
        last_name: DataTypes.STRING,
        bio: DataTypes.TEXT
      }, {
        classMethods: {
          associate: function(models) {
             // associations can be defined here
          }
        }
      })

      return User
    }

    // the migration file
    // located under migrations/20140622195935-create-user.js
    module.exports = {
      up: function(migration, DataTypes, done) {
        migration
          .createTable('Users', {
            first_name: DataTypes.STRING
            last_name: DataTypes.STRING
            bio: DataTypes.TEXT
          })
          .complete(done)
      },
      down: function(migration, DataTypes, done) {
        migration
          .dropTable('Users')
          .complete(done)
      }
    }

Discussion area:

I wonder if the API is OK or if there would be a better syntax for the attributes.

[janmeier]

I think the proposed API looks good, I like that better than specifying each attribute with a flag :)

[janmeier]

While this code is pretty readable and simple, I wonder if it wouldn't better to use some kind of templating language for the skeleton where we just insert tableName and attributes?

[sdepold]

that is really true and will be done in an upcoming PR. i thought exactly the same, but didn't want to do it within that PR as it is already quite big

[janmeier]

Fine :)

[sdepold]

@janmeier @mickhansen can you merge it ? :)

[janmeier]

sure can ;)
