mongo_mapper_generators¶ ↑

MMG is intended for use with the MongoMapper rubygem. Use it to generate Document and EmbeddedDocument models. Also included is a generator for a rails initializer.

MongoMapperGenerators is only released on gemcutter. To install, you can setup gemcutter as your default gem source.

$ gem install gemcutter
$ gem tumble

Then you can install MMG:

$ gem install mongo_mapper_generators

You can also just declare the source:

$ gem install mongo_mapper_generators -s http://gemcutter.org

• MongoMapper

• Rails

Once you install the gem, the generators will be available to all Rails applications on your system. If you run script/generate without any additional arguments you should see the available generators listed.

To run the generator, go to your rails project directory and call it using the script/generate or script/destroy command.

script/generate mongo_model Person name:string email:string age:integer

It will generate the model, a unit test and a factory.

Generators also exist for generating EmbeddedDocument models as well as a rails initializer.

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.

I was inspired by a number of different sources, including:

• Blitz - github.com/dancroak/blitz

• NiftyGenerators - github.com/ryanb/nifty-generators

• ShouldaGenerator - github.com/technicalpickles/shoulda_generator

• John Nunemaker’s rails initializer - gist.github.com/232953
