Phoenix Generators

[jeregrine]

I think it would be great to get some phoenix generators in here. This is my "best case" api

mix jsonapi.gen.resource User users name:string email:string bio:string number_of_pets:integer
* creating priv/repo/migrations/20150409213440_create_user.exs
* creating web/models/user.ex
* creating test/models/user_test.exs
* creating web/controllers/user_controller.ex
* creating web/views/user_view.ex
* creating test/controllers/user_controller_test.exs

Add the resource to your browser scope in web/router.ex:

    resources "/users", UserController

and then update your repository by running migrations:

    $ mix ecto.migrate

And then

mix jsonapi.gen.resource Post posts title:string body:string belongs_to:User
* creating priv/repo/migrations/20150409213440_create_post.exs
* creating web/models/post.ex
* creating test/models/post_test.exs
* creating web/controllers/post_controller.ex
* creating web/views/post_view.ex
* creating test/controllers/post_controller_test.exs

Add the resource to your browser scope in web/router.ex:

    resources "/posts", PostController
    #TODO Figure out all the different LINKS routes we can insert here

and then update your repository by running migrations:

    $ mix ecto.migrate

Then you could do a GET /posts?include=user&fields=title,body,user.name&order=-posts.created_at And it would work out of the box.

@jeregrine / @jherdman / @snewcomer is this still something we'd like to consider? If not, I vote we close the issue so we can keep things focused.

I think it could be kind of nice to do this. I don't think they're a must, but it'd certainly make it easier for new users to get started.

Something to consider, not something I'm willing to put time into, if someone else is :+1:

Switching over a project soon, so I'll see if I can provide some unique insight!

Awesome feedback! I don't personally use the generators and have found maintaining them to be a tad bit a pain over time (we've got generators here: https://github.com/slime-lang/phoenix_slime).

That said if someone wants to do the work and maintain them as things change with Ecto, Phoenix, etc then we should keep this open 👍
