Public exports of generated models can be improved

[JonasCir]

Description

When generating a model, the created file (e.g., src/models/persons.rs) is missing public reexports for ActiveModel and Model. Only Entity is publicly exported.

The default src/models/users.rs file, however, reexports everything through pub use super::_entities::users::{self, ActiveModel, Entity, Model};. This allows convenient (and clean) usage of these types in tests (see import section of tests/models/users.rs.

Tests for newly generated models (e.g., tests/models/persons.rs) need to use the full path to access the corresponding ActiveModel.

I do not consider this a bug - as the user can easily work around it - but unifying this would streamline the developer experience.

To Reproduce

1. Generate a new SaaS project
2. cargo loco generate scaffold persons uuid:uuid first_name:string! last_name:string! --api
3. Import section of tests/models/persons.rs and src/controllers/persons.rs is not ideal.

Expected Behavior

src/models/persons.rs should look like this:

pub use super::_entities::persons::{ActiveModel, Entity as Persons, Model};
use sea_orm::entity::prelude::*;


impl ActiveModelBehavior for ActiveModel {
    // extend activemodel below (keep comment for generators)
}

tests/models/persons then can use a clean and simple import like use foobar::models::persons::{self, Persons};

Environment:

• loco-cli 0.12.0
• rustc 1.82.0 (f6e511eec 2024-10-15) with target stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (default)

Additional Context
