Plain TextExpand 
  1. class ${1:name_of_model} < ActiveRecord::Base
  2.       def self.columns() @columns ||= []; end
  3.       def self.column(name, sql_type = nil, default = nil, null = true)
  4.       columns << ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column.new(name.to_s, default, sql_type.to_s, null)
  5.       end
  6.  
  7.       #insert the names of the form fields here
