Hello,

I have this class in my Rails project  :

class CreateModels < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    create_table :models do |t|
      t.string :model, :default => "Model",  :limit => 10
      t.string :description, :default => "short Description",  :limit => 20
      t.string :longdescription, :default => "long Description",  :limit => 40
      t.timestamps
    end
  end

  def self.down
    drop_table :models
  end
end

Now, if I need the same fields in another table, I need to put again : 

.
.
 t.string :description, :default => "short Description", :limit => 20
 t.string :longdescription, :default => "long Description", :limit => 40
.
.

How can I create something like a "template" or "pattern" that includes for 
example ":default => "short Description", :limit => 20", then I only use this 
template to create the new table. Something like this :

.
.
 t.Template2 :description, # 'Template2' includes ":default => "short 
Description",  :limit => 20"
 t.Template3 :longdescription, # 'Template3' includes ":default => "long 
Description",  :limit => 40"
.
.

Then I will use this new type to create new fields with the same 
characteristics in all the tables.

Thanks,

Jose.
