schemata

Allows you to use and create sets of commonly used schemata. For example:

create_table :accounts do |t|
    t.string "street_address_1"
    t.string "street_address_2"
    t.string "city"
    t.string "state"
    t.string "zip_code"
    t.string "country"
end

becomes

create_table :accounts do |t|
    t.addressable
end

Available schemata

  • Addressable
  • Contactable
  • Nameable

Creating your own collection

Creating your own collections is easy:

#schema/timeable.rb
module Schemata
  module Schema
    def timeable
      apply_schema :start_time, :datetime
      apply_schema :end_time , :datetime
    end
  end
end

Then require the file in environment.rb or your rails engine. 

require 'schema/timeable'

You can define as many methods within a file as you want and they'll be available. A quick an easy way to port your definitions would be to create a gem like schemata-timeables.

Contributing to schemata

  • Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet
  • Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it
  • Fork the project
  • Start a feature/bugfix branch
  • Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
  • Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
  • Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
