DBviewer

DBviewer is a simple tool to read a Rails' schema.rb file and create an XML file representing a database schema readable on db.lewagon.org.

This can be useful when joining a huge existing Rails project with no DB representation.

Pre-requisites

The program needs ActiveSupport to run so:

gem install activesupport

Usage

1. Clone the repo and launch app.rb.
2. You must enter the filepath to a schema.rb file.
3. Resulting db.xml file is available at the root of the cloned repo.
4. Copy the db.xml content and go to db.lewagon.org.
5. Click on Save / Load button on the left sidebar and paste the XML code.
6. Click on Load XML button.
7. Replace tables as you wish.
8. Enjoy the view 👀 !
