ARAA (ActiveRecord Auto Associate) is a Gem that allows you to dynamically build your models associations without having to explicitly define them.
It does this by inspecting the defined schema via ActiveRecord and populates an initializer file. This file contains class declarations of your models that use re-open them and defines ActiveRecord relations.
This is generated via a Rake task.
rake araa:generate
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'araa'And then execute:
$ bundleOr install it yourself as:
$ gem install araaPlease feel free to contribute.
At the moment, I don't know how to test this... If anyone has experience testing the effects of a plugins effect on the dummy application I would love the insight.
The gem is available as open source under the terms of the MIT License.
