Pattern: Missing timestamps for new table

Issue: -

Description

This rule checks the migration for which timestamps are not included when creating a new table. In many cases, timestamps are useful information and should be added.

Examples

# bad
create_table :users

# bad
create_table :users do |t|
  t.string :name
  t.string :email
end

# good
create_table :users do |t|
  t.string :name
  t.string :email

  t.timestamps
end

# good
create_table :users do |t|
  t.string :name
  t.string :email

  t.datetime :created_at, default: -> { 'CURRENT_TIMESTAMP' }
end

# good
create_table :users do |t|
  t.string :name
  t.string :email

  t.datetime :updated_at, default: -> { 'CURRENT_TIMESTAMP' }
end
