AnnotateRb
A Ruby gem that automatically adds schema and route annotations to Rails model, test, fixture, factory, and route files.
What is AnnotateRb?
AnnotateRb is a Ruby gem designed for Ruby on Rails applications that automatically generates and inserts descriptive comments about database schemas and application routes directly into relevant source files. It solves the problem of developers needing to switch between code files and database consoles or routing documentation to understand model structures and URL mappings.
Rails developers and teams who want to keep database schema and route information visible and up-to-date within their codebase, especially those working on larger applications with many models and complex routing.
Developers choose AnnotateRb because it automates the tedious task of manually documenting schemas and routes, ensures annotations stay synchronized with the database after migrations, and offers high configurability to fit different project styles and preferences, all while being a maintained fork of a well-established tool in the Rails ecosystem.
