To those trying it out: if the diagram seems inaccurate, try dragging tables around.
I uploaded a very simple schema, but seemingly unrelated tables looked connected. Turns out it's 100% accurate, but relationships can run behind other tables and make it look like things are connected that aren't. Detangling is easy with a few drags/drops and you get a really nice diagram out of it.
- huy 8y agoThanks for the love! Yes since rails convention is clear-cut and standardized, we can read those implicit conversions in the backend and convert to necessary relationships.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 8y agoThis comment is precisely why I have a ton of respect for the people who develop visualization algorithms like in Graphviz. Given a DAG or ERD, the logic to properly render that as something that makes sense to your typical developer is HARD. Mad props to the people who tackle that problem.
