Specifying column name in a “references” migration

by

For Rails 5+

Initial Definition:

If you are defining your Post model table, you can set references, index and foreign_key in one line:

t.references :author, index: true, foreign_key: { to_table: :users }

Update Existing:

If you are adding references to an existing table, you can do this:

add_reference :posts, :author, foreign_key: { to_table: :users }

Note: The default value for index is true.
