FatModelFinder

Whats the only kind of Model a Ruby Developer can get?

A Fat one...

FatModelFinder is a CLI tool designed to help developers identify "fat models" in their Rails applications. It scans the /app/models directory, analyzes each model file, and determines whether the model is "fat" based on conditions defined in this gem.

To install the gem and add it to your application's Gemfile, execute:

$ bundle add fat_model_finder

If Bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install fat_model_finder

After installing the gem, you can use the CLI tool to scan your Rails application's models. Navigate to the root directory of your Rails application and run:

1. To scan the models and save the fat model data into a JSON file named file_data:

   fat_model_finder scan

2. To display the fat models based on the saved JSON data:

   fat_model_finder show_fat_models

The scan command analyzes the models in the /app/models directory and saves the results in a JSON file. The show_fat_models command parses the JSON file and outputs the fat model data to the user.
