Adding defaults and indexes to a script/generate command in a Rails Template?
- by charliepark
I'm trying to set up a Rails Template that would allow for comprehensive set-up of a specific Rails app. Using Pratik Naik's overview (http://m.onkey.org/2008/12/4/rails-templates), I was able to set up a couple of scaffolds and models, with a line that looks something like this ...
generate("scaffold", "post", "title:string", "body:string")
I'm now trying to add in Delayed Jobs, which normally has a migration file that looks like this:
create_table :delayed_jobs, :force => true do |table|
table.integer :priority, :default => 0 # Allows some jobs to jump to the front of the queue
table.integer :attempts, :default => 0 # Provides for retries, but still fail eventually.
table.text :handler # YAML-encoded string of the object that will do work
table.text :last_error # reason for last failure (See Note below)
table.datetime :run_at # When to run. Could be Time.now for immediately, or sometime in the future.
table.datetime :locked_at # Set when a client is working on this object
table.datetime :failed_at # Set when all retries have failed (actually, by default, the record is deleted instead)
table.string :locked_by # Who is working on this object (if locked)
table.timestamps
end
So, what I'm trying to do with the Rails template, is to add in that :default = 0 into the master template file. I know that the rest of the template's command should look like this:
generate("migration", "createDelayedJobs", "priority:integer", "attempts:integer", "handler:text", "last_error:text", "run_at:datetime", "locked_at:datetime", "failed_at:datetime", "locked_by:string")
Where would I put (or, rather, what is the syntax to add) the :default values in that? And if I wanted to add an index, what's the best way to do that?
