Simple entity relation (ER) diagrams generation
Project description
# Entity relation diagrams generator
[](https://gitter.im/Alexis-benoist/eralchemy?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)
ERAlchemy generates Entity Relation (ER) diagram (like the one below) from databases or from SQLAlchemy models.
## Example
[Example for NewsMeme](https://bitbucket.org/danjac/newsmeme)
## Quick Start
### Install on a mac
The simplest way to install eralchemy on OSX is by using [Homebrew](http://brew.sh)
$ brew install eralchemy
### Install
To install ERAlchemy, just do:
$ pip install eralchemy
`ERAlchemy` requires [GraphViz](http://www.graphviz.org/Download.php) to generate the graphs and Python. Both are available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
### Use from the command line and a database
$ eralchemy -i sqlite:///relative/path/to/db.db -o erd_from_sqlite.pdf
The database is specified as a [SQLAlchemy](http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_1_0/core/engines.html#database-urls)
database url.
### Use from the command line and a markdown file.
$ curl 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alexis-benoist/eralchemy/master/example/newsmeme.er' > markdown_file.er
$ eralchemy -i 'markdown_file.er' -o erd_from_markdown_file.pdf
### Use from python
```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 with a Postgresql database to a markdown file excluding tables named `temp` and `audit`
$ eralchemy -i 'postgresql+psycopg2://username:password@hostname:5432/databasename' -o filtered.er -x temp audit
### Use from the command line with a Postgresql database to a markdown file for the schema `schema`
$ eralchemy -i 'postgresql+psycopg2://username:password@hostname:5432/databasename' -s schema
## Architecture
Thanks to it's modular architecture, it can be connected to other ORMs/ODMs/OGMs/O*Ms.
## Contribute
Every feedback is welcome on the [GitHub issues](https://github.com/Alexis-benoist/eralchemy/issues).
To run the tests, use : `$ py.test`.
All tested PR are welcome.
## Notes
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.
