Is it possible to customize the model template?

[not4rt]

I noticed that the model template is used for generating the migration file. However, I’m specifically looking to customize the model file that gets generated in the src/models directory.

Is it possible to customize the src/models/*.rs file with a template? If so, how can I achieve that?

Hey @not4rt,

Yes, you can customize generated files using template overrides. Just run:

cargo loco generate override --help

All the supported templates that you can overrides:

cargo loco generate override --info

Hey @kaplanelad ,
Thanks so much for your response!

It looks like the command below generates the template for the migration, not the model file:

cargo loco generate override model/model.t

After looking through the source code, it seems like the model.rs file is hardcoded here:

loco/src/db.rs

Line 525 in 40b80be

r"use sea_orm::entity::prelude::*;

Is that correct? Should I create an issue about migrating this to templates?

yes it looks good to me. What is the problem that you are seeing?
