RailRoad is a very good class diagram generator for Ruby on Rails applications.
Roy Wright modified it to support the state machine AASM.
Following you see an example of a model diagram, generated by
railroad -Mt | neato -Tpng > models_default.png
This is very great, but in bigger projects, I wanted to see the magic fields like id, user_id, post_id,…
Therefore, I modified the gem by adding an additional parameter --show-magic to show the magic fields.
railroad -Mt --show-magic | neato -Tpng > models_with_magics.png creates the following diagram
The plugin can be installed via gemcutter.org
gem install dmattes-railroad_xing
