Override the default Rails model template

Question

I want to override the default model file that's generated with rails generate model. I've created a template based on this file, but I can't figure out where to put it. Other answers seem to suggest /lib/templates/rails/model/model.rb or /lib/templates/rails/model/model_generator.rb, but neither of those do anything - I put the template in that location but when I run rails generate model ModelName it gets ignored.

Am I going about this the right way? Where should I put the template?

Answer 1

Solved: I wanted lib/templates/active_record/model/model.rb.

You probably need to put it in "lib/rails/generators/active_record/model/templates/model.rb". Here's the rails' default one: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activerecord/lib/rails/generators/active_record/model/templates/model.rb
