merb_annotate_models
====================

A plugin for the Merb framework that provides a port of the rails
annotate models plugin.

Right now this plugin only works with activerecord as the ORM.

===============

Install with
# svn co http://merb-annotate-models.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ merb_annotate_models

examples
========

Say you had a tag model, where the migration looked like this:

class AddModelTags < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    create_table :tags do |t|
      t.column :name, :string 
      t.column :owner_id, :integer 
      t.column :owner_type, :string 
      t.column :created_at, :timestamp 
      t.column :updated_at, :timestamp 
    end    
  end

  def self.down
    drop_table :tags
  end
end

When you run annotate models it will place something like this
on the top of your tag.rb file.
