am a newbie to rails , I created a model named Employee
and in migration i added the following
class CreateEmployee < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table :employees do |t|
t.string :name, :limit => 40, :null => false,:default => ""
t.text :address, :limit => 200,:default => ""
t.text :location_name, :default => "",:limit => 200
t.text :city, :default => "",:limit => 200
t.text :state, :default => "",:limit => 200
t.integer :zipcode, :limit => 6
t.timestamps
end
end
def self.down
drop_table :employees
end
end
i gave default to almost all the fields esp which are string or text
but when i took the console and created a new instance of the class
say Employee.new i find the default argument is not working
>> Employee.new
=> #<Employee id: nil, name: "", address: nil, location_name: nil,
city: nil, state: nil, zipcode: nil, created_at: nil, updated_at: nil>
>>
only the name is given a default value of ""
rest is still nill
