Create RoR model diagrams with yUMLmeRails
I just hacked together a simple plugin for RoR apps in order to show a simple model diagram.
If been a fan of RailRoad since the beginning, it generates simple dot and neato diagrams from your rails application.
Now I just found out about the cool http://yuml.me beta and decided to use RailRoad to create yUML diagrams.
I created a GitHub project so you can look at the code and make whatever changes you want. The project page has more info on the plugin.
I was also thinking of adding a Shoes app to create the diagrams but for now I just use it to display the diagram.
Please keep in mind that the source’s all messy and is far from finished, perhaps someone else would like to make it a whole lot better

Awesome, as a fan or RailRoad I was thinking of doing something like this
Like the idea of a Shoes app too.
I haven’t downloaded the code yet, but will take a look.
A few suggestions:
- give the GitHub readme file a .markdown extension so it renders more nicely
- In the readme file, post a sample Image URL (pointing to yUML), to visually indicate what the diagrams will look like. For example: http://gist.github.com/108176
Cheers
Hi Tobin,
I’ll try to update the README asap. I’ll gladly add collaborators to the project so just let me know if you’re interested. I just hacked this in a couple of hours so there’s plenty to do.
Just saw the updated readme, nice work
Haven’t actually had time to have a play with it yet, but look foward to it.
Interesting site, but much advertisments on him. Shall read as subscription, rss.
aaa sorry new at this…exactly where would i find this ’shoe app’
