Support for views

[jelofson]

Hey Paul. Hope you are well!
Any thought of adding support for creating mappers for views? Or does this fly in the face of the data mapper as one doesn't modify view records? It's not common, but I do have a case where I want to fetch a related which is a view from another DB. I have a work around in mind, but just curious what your thoughts are.

Huh, that's interesting. I don't know if that's "against" data mapper or not; my intuition is that it ought to be fine from an academic perspective, even if it's read-only.

What changes do you think might be needed in the CLI generator code?

Will have to dig into atlas/info a bit I think. Generating classes for views could be optional, so maybe a config param. I will give it some thought. I feel like atlas cli version one did views but I can't remember off-hand.
