Foreign key associations: best practices?

Rails
1

Looks like http://www.redhillonrails.org has been taken over by ads
and considering how old the RedHill plugins are getting I was
wondering if people are still using the RedHill foreign_key_migrations
plugin to setup foreign key relationships? If not what are people
using to replace it?

Thanks,
Aaron

I still use foreign_key_migrations. The RedHill stuff is now at
harukizaemon (Simon Harris) · GitHub .

I’m using foreigner. It works great for me. Foreign keys get correctly
put into schema.db and everything.

GitHub - matthuhiggins/foreigner: Adds foreign key helpers to migrations and correctly dumps foreign keys to schema.rb

I’m glad to know about Foreigner; I hadn’t heard of it. I think I like
foreign_key_migrations’ approach slightly better, but I’ll have to try
Foreigner.
