Merge 295fe153ad into 2e72ec1160

Hello, I've added a small blockquote below the description to indicate that this method of accessing an indefinite number of function arguments has been superseded by the use of the spread operator via rest parameters for ES6+ compatibility.

+# Generate A Model
+
+The `rails` CLI comes with a variety of generators. Perhaps the mostly common
+one to use is the _model_ generator.
+
+The model generator will create a migration and a model file for the entity
+that you name. In the following example `Book` will result in a
+`app/models/book.rb` file as well as a migration file for a `books` table.
+These generators know the singular and plural conventions.
+
+At the end of the command is a series of field definitions containing the field
+_name_ and field _type_. These are used in the migration file for defining
+columns on the new table.
+
+```bash
+❯ bin/rails generate model Book title:string publication_date:date author:string
+      invoke  active_record
+      create    db/migrate/20240920223447_create_books.rb
+      create    app/models/book.rb
+      invoke    rspec
+      create      spec/models/book_spec.rb
+```
+
+You may also notice that an `rspec` action was invoked as part of this
+generator. That is because I have the `rspec-rails` gem in my project. That gem
+hooks into the model generator so that a model spec also gets generated. Handy!
