Recently (last week) this PR was merged in Ruby on Rails repository and i thought it could be nice to have in phoenix, basically what it does is to add a “!” operator at the end of each type, so in summary we would type:

$ mix phx.gen.schema Blog.Post blog_posts title:string! views:integer!

and the current output would be generated:

defmodule MyApp.Repo.Migrations.CreateBlogPosts do
  use Ecto.Migration

  def change do
    create table(:blog_posts) do
      add :title, :string, null: false
      add :views, :integer, null: false

      timestamps(type: :utc_datetime)
    end
  end
end

If you think this make sense as i do and like the idea i think would be great for me to work in this feature since i’m always looking to ways to contribute with code for phoenix, but i would need some help and i’d be really greateful if you guys could help me do it.

IMPORTANT: There’s my first feature suggestion and i don’t know very well how things are done here, sorry if the post does not follow any standard or something like that.
