# Kickoff - the quickest way to start new rails apps

# How it works:
# 1. Install the gem: `$ gem install kickoff-rails`
# 2. Generate your kickoff file `$ kickoff new`
# 3. Edit the kickoff file to specify the foundation of your app
# 4. Generate your app: `$ kickoff`

# Set up default gems
gems = ['omniauth', 'omniauth-twitter', 'pg', 'airbrake']

# Define your models with ease
create_model do |m|
  m.name :post
  m.string :title
	m.text :body
	m.references :user
end

create_model do |m|
  m.name :user
  m.string :name
  m.string :email
end

# Controllers & routes
create_controller do |c|
  c.actions = [:new, :index, :show]
end
