rails-migration

What problem does it solve?

Standardizes Rails migrations by enforcing UUID primary keys, a gen_random_uuid() default, and explicit, consistently named indexes across tables.

Core Features & Use Cases

• UUID Primary Keys with pgcrypto and a uid column defaulting to gen_random_uuid()
• Explicitly named indexes for all critical columns (e.g., index_<table>on<column>)
• Foreign keys as UUIDs using *_uid suffix; avoid t.references for UUID tables
• Array columns with default [] for PostgreSQL denormalized lists
• Boolean columns with explicit defaults and timestamps included
• Bulk table creation via create_table bulk: true for performance
• Guidance for common migration tasks: add_column, create_table, add_index

Quick Start

Enable the pgcrypto extension and create new tables with a uid primary key defaulting to gen_random_uuid(), plus a unique index on uid.
