Required text type when generating models via CLI

[yinho999]

I am wondering if is there any reason why the required text type is not a thing in the CLI when creating the model using the CLI tool?

@yinho999 can you elaborate? not sure I'm understand your question

Sorry for my bad description. There is "string!" for string not null and "int!" for int no null but "text!" is not available in the CLI. I am thinking is there a special reason for that.

the string is defined as the column type, in this case, varchar.
for example if I run the command:

cargo loco generate model article title:string title2:string!

The column title will created and this field is a must to set when you create a new record
The column title2 with the ! will not be a mandatory field and this field can be null
