ModelProbe

ActiveRecord schema visualization and model organization made easy 🙌

Colorized table info for columns, types, nullables, indexes... and the actual DDL used by the database to create the table. All this and more with ModelProbe!

  1. Get a clear picture of your model's underlying schema with beautiful and informative schema introspection.
  2. Generate model class definitions with a well organized, logical structure.
  3. Create sensible text fixture stubs.
