How to Use Rails Generators with MongoDB

The MongoDB classes do not come with default generators for Rails applications. In order to use the rails generate commands, you can use the indirect rails3-generators project available at https://github.com/indirect/rails3-generators/#readme

Installation:

1. Download the generators into your application’s lib folder:

   cd myapp
   git clone git://github.com/indirect/rails3-generators.git lib/generators`
   

2. Install the rails3-generators gem

   gem install rails3-generators
   

3. Add this to your project’s Gemfile

   gem 'rails3-generators'
   

Usage:

rails generate model ModelName --orm=mongo_mapper
