expanding the mix task to include Phoenix

[niccolox]

hi there

this is a stub, am trying to work out how to go from a fully designed database, say an ER or other visualization of a complex database into ecto and then into Phoenix

parkerl/fishing_spot#2

looks like this mix task generates the models for ecto
https://github.com/alexandrubagu/ecto_generator/blob/master/lib/mix/tasks/ecto.dump.schema.ex

but what about Phoenix integration?
I assume the answer would be to fork this repo and merge it with a Phoenix generator for HTML or ?
https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix/blob/master/lib/mix/tasks/phoenix.gen.html.ex

leaving this as an open question for myself and others that my to come to this same issue

looking at this more, the gen model for phoenix is closer

https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix/blob/master/lib/mix/tasks/phoenix.gen.model.ex

am thinking that maybe a Phoenix.Gen.HTML could be modified to have a switch like "--use-schema-db=dbfile.sql" instead of the usual "Post posts title body"

and that there would be a conditional in the phoenix.gen.model or phoenix.gen.html to call this file instead

apologies if my terminology is poor, am new to Elixir / Phoenix

Hi there,
When I start this project I was thinking that will be merged into ecto, here's the pull request: elixir-ecto/ecto#1722

Basically you need to add this projects into you mix.exs deps, run mix deps.get and then you can ecto.dump.schema. Sometime you will need to edit generated files because sometime you can have indexes, other primary keys etc.

If you have better ideas pleasse open a pull request and I will be happy to discuss or implement new features. 👍 😄
