Base schema app (possible improvement)

[Alexey_Gusev]

Base schema is a great application, especially for large complex bases with a lot of tables and links. But at some point it’s not convenient to use because you can’t scale it to fit page and be able to read table/name fields at the same time. Example:

I did a little custom improvement to create schema of linked fields, for clear vision - which tables are linked and how, by excluding other fields. The same example base output looks like:

(all table/field names here were changed to prevent disclosure)

For those, who interested in details,
in custom app, with ‘Base schema’ example

• frontend/parseSchema, added string:
  in “function parseSchema(base), under table.fields.forEach(field => {”
  if (field.type!=FieldType.MULTIPLE_RECORD_LINKS) return;
  
  

The point is - in my case with large bases, such type of view is more useful than ‘natural’ with all the fields included.

On2Air Schema goes a little further than Airtable’s base schema app:
