README
Nullalign
Description
nullalign is a tool to detect missing non-null constraints in Rails projects.
Suppose you have a validation like this:
validates :email, presence: true
Do you have a non-null constraint in your database to back that up? If not, nullalign will find it for you.
Nullalign is based on Colin Jones' consistency_fail. I mean really really based on it, as in I copied and pasted over a bunch of the code and changed the module and file names. And a lot of this README, too.
Installation
Put this in the development group in your Gemfile
gem 'nullalign'
Usage
Run it like this:
bundle exec nullalign
Example output
There are presence validators that aren't backed by non-null constraints.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Model Table Columns
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Album albums: name, owner_id
AttendanceRecord attendance_records: group_id, attended_at
CheckinLabel checkin_labels: name, xml
CheckinTime checkin_times: campus
Generating a migration
You can also run a Rake task which will generate a migration which will add indexes as needed:
bundle exec rake nullalign:fix
Limitations
nullalign depends on being able to find all your ActiveRecord::Base
subclasses with some $LOAD_PATH trickery. If any models are in a path either
not on your project's load path or in a path that doesn't include the word
"models", nullalign won't be able to find or analyze them. I'm open to
making the text "models" configurable if people want that. Please open an issue
or pull request if so!
To disable nullalign, I could add a thing that checks column comments for a string like 'nonullalign' if people think that would be useful. Just let me know.
