What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A Ruby gem that adds foreign key helper methods to ActiveRecord migrations and dumps foreign keys into schema.rb. It was rendered obsolete by native foreign key support introduced in Rails 4.2.
Use cases
- add foreign key constraints to rails migrations
- dump foreign keys to schema.rb
- manage foreign keys in rails 3 and earlier
- remove foreign key constraints in migrations
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Rails app on versions before 4.2 that needs foreign key support
When to avoid
- using Rails 4.2 or later, which supports foreign keys natively
- starting a new project
