Schemate

Export current schema of ActiveRecord models as markdown or CSV

The schema list (schemate.md) looks like this:

# Table name: `users` 
## Columns
|FieldName |Attitutde |Size |NULL |Default |Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|id |integer |8 |false | ||
|name |string |255 |true | ||
|email |string |255 |false | ||
|crypted_password |string |255 |true | ||
|salt |string |255 |true | ||

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'schemate'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install schemate

Export schema to CSV:

$ bundle exec rake schemate:export_csv

Export schema to Markdown:

$ bundle exec rake schemate:export_md

To generate a configuration file(config/initializers/schemate.rb), to set default options:

$ rails g schemate:install

Edit this file to control auto generation, and output format.

By default, schema is exported only when you run schemate:export_csv or schemate:export_md.
If you want to export schema automatically with rake db:migrate, edit the file and change:

config.auto_generate = true

By default, auto generate file type is markdown.
If you want to generate file as csv, edit the file and change:

config.auto_generate_type = 'csv'
