Rails Generator Handles Action Text Fields

Rails Action Text allows rich text content editing via Basecamp’s Trix editor. Action Text manages the rich text content configuring a Action Text to Active Record model using has_rich_text.

To configure Active Record model to associate rich text, you need to configure has_rich_text as follows in the model.

class Message < ApplicationRecord
  has_rich_text :content
end

Today I learned, you can configure Action Text rich text using Rails model and scaffold generator by providing rich_text field attribute. The model and scaffold generator would configure Active Record model with the appropriate Action Text configuration.

Run the model generator as follows to configure has_rich_text for content in the user model.

$ bin/rails generate model <ModelName> <association_name>:rich_text

Added documentation for same in the Rails guides: PR#42400

Happy Coding!!
