django-spaghetti-and-meatballs 0.2.2

Adding spaghetti to your project

Install some spaghetti:

pip install django-spaghetti-and-meatballs

Add "django_spaghetti" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'django_spaghetti',
]

SPAGHETTI_SAUCE = {
  'apps':['auth','polls'],
  'show_fields':False,
  'exclude':{'auth':['user']}
}

urlpatterns += patterns('',
  url(r'^plate/', include('django_spaghetti.urls')),
)

A sample platter

Below is an example image showing the connections between models from the django-reversion and django-notifications apps and Django’s built-in auth models.

Colored edges illustrate foreign key relations, with arrows pointing from the defining model to the related model, while gray edges illustrate many-to-many relations. Different colors signify the different Django apps, and when relations link between apps the edges are colored with a gradient.

Hovering over a model, gives a pop-up that lists the following information:

• model name

• app label

• The models docstring

• A list of every field, with its field type and its help text (if defined). Unique fields have their name underlined.

This was build with the sauce:

SPAGHETTI_SAUCE = {
  'apps':['auth','notifications','reversion'],
  'show_fields':False,
  }
