Visualize Rails schema.rb with tool/plugin/script

ruby-on-rails, schema, visualization

Solution

Check out RailRoad.

It creates diagrams for models and controllers. I bet it will do what you want. It produces DOT files which can be viewed with Graphviz or other programs.

I've had some success with it, but when you have a ton of models, you may need to do some manual rearrangement to get a decent looking diagram.

Problem

I am looking for a tiny tool/script/plugin to visualize my Rails schema.rb file so that our project does not have to maintain a separate diagram manually. Do you have any experiences on that subject?
