module Formtastic
# Generates a Formtastic form partial based on an existing model. It will not overwrite existing
# files without confirmation.
#
# @example
# !!!shell
# $ rails generate formtastic:form Post
# @example Copy the partial code to the pasteboard rather than generating a partial
# !!!shell
# $ rails generate formtastic:form Post --copy
# @example Return HAML or Slim output instead of default ERB
# !!!shell
# $ rails generate formtastic:form Post --template-engine haml
# $ rails generate formtastic:form Post --template-engine slim
# @example Generate a form for specific model attributes
# !!!shell
# $ rails generate formtastic:form Post title:string body:text
# @example Generate a form for a specific controller
# !!!shell
# $ rails generate formtastic:form Post --controller admin/posts
