I am looking to optimize how we build forms for some of our models and ideally I would like to build them from json-schema.
Is there a gem or the like which would allow me to export a model definition to json-schema?
Bonus: With validations.
Bonus: While modelling association relationships.
Formtastic: http://github.com/justinfrench/formtastic has a mechanism for building forms from the models. Maybe you could base your code on theirs.
Check in lib/formtastic.rb line 474 or so.
