NewsMeme <https://bitbucket.org/danjac/newsmeme>`__

Quick Start
-----------

Install
~~~~~~~

To install ERAlchemy, just do:

::

$ pip install eralchemy

``ERAlchemy`` requires
`GraphViz <http://www.graphviz.org/Download.php>`__ to generate the
graphs.

Use from python
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: python

from eralchemy import render_er
## Draw from SQLAlchemy base
render_er(Base, 'erd_from_sqlalchemy.png')

## Draw from database
render_er("sqlite:///relative/path/to/db.db", 'erd_from_sqlite.png')

Use from the command line
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

::

$ eralchemy -i sqlite:///relative/path/to/db.db -o erd_from_sqlite.png

Thanks to it's modular architecture, it can be connected to other
ORMs/ODMs/OGMs/O\*Ms.

Notes
-----

Every feedback is welcome on the `GitHub
issues <https://github.com/Alexis-benoist/eralchemy/issues>`__.

To run the tests, use : ``$ py.test``.

ERAlchemy was inspired by `erd <https://github.com/BurntSushi/erd>`__,
though it is able to render the ER diagram directly from the database
and not just only from the ``ER`` markup language.
