Install the gem and add it to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add trains

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install trains

require 'trains'

scanner = Trains::Scanner.new('~/lib/trains_app')
result = scanner.scan

Trains currently has the ability to achieve the following:

Given a DB migration in your Rails app like so:

class CreateGroups < ActiveRecord::Migration[7.0]
  def change
    create_table :groups do |t|
      t.string :title

      t.timestamps
    end
    add_index :groups, :title, unique: true
  end
end

Trains will generate the following Model definition:

Trains::DTO::Model(
  name: 'Group',
  fields:
    [
      Trains::DTO::Field(:title, :string),
      Trains::DTO::Field(:created_at, :datetime),
      Trains::DTO::Field(:updated_at, :datetime),
    ],
  version: 7.0
)

Given a controller in your Rails app like so:

class BoxController < ApplicationController
  def create; end

  def edit; end

  def update; end

  def destroy; end
end

Trains will return the following controller definition:

Trains::DTO::Controller(
    name: 'BoxController',
    method_list: [
      Trains::DTO::Method(name: 'create', visibility: nil, source: nil),
      Trains::DTO::Method(name: 'edit', visibility: nil, source: nil),
      Trains::DTO::Method(name: 'update', visibility: nil, source: nil),
      Trains::DTO::Method(name: 'destroy', visibility: nil, source: nil)
    ]
)

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
