I am creating a profile form for the partner project that has checkboxes and radio buttons. I haven't found what is used in the rails g model for and Does anyone know what to use in this case?

$ rails generate model Profile name:string bio:text ... petsok: gender:

Models are so easy to write, I wouldn't use a generator for them. I think the generator is a little misleading because it also is making a migration, you may just want to make the migration, then make the model and spin up the rails console to check that you can make a call to the db and create an object of your class you created (after you migrate)

They all have the structure

class Profile < ActiveRecord::Base

stuff

end

remember that most of that "rails magic" should be happening in the model. it's where you really get to play with your data.

Thanks Hunter. I was doing some reading in the Hartl book about models.
