Rails Migrate Factory

Completely rebuild your migrations to agilize setup and simplify schema

Install

gem install migrate_factory_rails

or add to your Gemfile

group :development do
  gem 'migrate_factory_rails'
end

How use

Be careful, rebuild do not cover all situations yet then may miss some migration You can use two commands currently:

  • rake rebuild:migrations -> Will rebuild all your migrations and save on tmp/rebuild, then you can validate if it worths without lose any data.
  • rake rebuild:cleanup -> Will cleanup all data on tmp/rebuild.

Goals

My goal here was the challenge to rebuild every migrations from Rails, matching as close as possible the final schema.rb meanwhile reducing strongly the amount of migrations. Specially on old projects, there will be a lot ot migrations, sometimes for a single column or index which extends the setup for a few seconds. If is worth or not to use, feel free to discuss.
