= Rails ERD - Generate Entity-Relationship Diagrams for Rails applications {Rails ERD}[http://rails-erd.rubyforge.org/] is a Rails plugin that allows you to easily generate a diagram based on your Active Record models. The diagram gives an overview of how your models are related. Having a diagram that describes your models is perfect documentation for your application. The second goal of Rails ERD is to provide you with a tool to inspect your application's domain model. If you don't like the default output, it is very easy to use the API to build your own diagrams. Rails ERD was created specifically for Rails 3. It uses Active Record's built-in reflection capabilities to figure out how your models are associated. == Preview Here's an example entity-relationship diagram that was generated by Rails ERD: http://rails-erd.rubyforge.org/examples/event-forms.png == Learn more Homepage: http://rails-erd.rubyforge.org/ Diagram gallery: http://rails-erd.rubyforge.org/gallery.html Installation instructions: http://rails-erd.rubyforge.org/install.html Internal API documentation: http://rails-erd.rubyforge.org/doc/ Source code at Github: http://github.com/voormedia/rails-erd == About Rails ERD Author: Rolf Timmermans (r.timmermans at voormedia.com) Copyright 2010 Voormedia B.V. == License Rails ERD is released under the MIT license.
