Streamlined generator for Rails

A couple of days recently I took a trial to Sreamlined, a plugin to generate associated relationship between existing models in Rails. I think Rails folks will interest to this strange project and be curious to think how fancy it can be. In my case, it got me totally hooked: since streamlined, I can directly get content and relationship of models by looking up database tables in streamlined view. Streamlined offers many corresponding methods in generating class to help you pick up which columns in relative tables you want to keep attention with. Add, select, modify, or delect data with such columns are certainly supplied.

Their work give me a big help, thank you. But at the beginning, I say ‘generate associated relationship’, that means assuming I can get an overview of logic between my existing models after sweeping over my rails app, namely it can automatically detect all over logic of my project. Then bring me a rational chart or tree in view, or even I can directly modify my app’s logic in this tree. Yet streamlined doesn’t support my imagine.

Anyway, this out of alpha release is only 0.0.2. Expect they can add up more fancy to it.

Keep in mind that Streamlined is for existing models, if your tables or models doesn’t exist, it will generate an error:
