SmartDump

SmartDump is a small library that moves records from a Rails Database to Yaml files. This can be used to backup data, create seed data, or hold a dataset for developers to work with.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'smart_dump'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install smart_dump

Usage

The library adds two Rake tasks to Rails' list.

rake db:fixtures:dump[path, included_models, excluded_models]

The path argument is required, which specifies the path in your project as to where the yaml files will be placed. The included and excluded argments take a string of model names separated by a space. They are optional.

rake db:fixtures:seed[path]

Takes only the required path argument. This will load the data from the YAML files back into the database.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test 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 tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
