Model attributes of existing database

I have a existing Database and I dont need to generate any models but I would like to have also the columns of the tables inside the activerecord model.

I don't like to check everytime the columns of my table. I just need some kind of a reference to the column. And it looks pretty wrong to me not having them in the model.

Right now my models looks like this:

 class City < ActiveRecord::Base
      self.table_name = "city"
 end

Btw I am using rails 4.

You may like this gem https://github.com/ctran/annotate_models, where it annotate the structure of model from database table like below,

# == Schema Info
#
# Table name: line_items
#
#  id                  :integer(11)    not null, primary key
#  quantity            :integer(11)    not null
#  product_id          :integer(11)    not null
#  unit_price          :float

#  order_id            :integer(11)

class LineItem < ActiveRecord::Base
   belongs_to :product
end
