Example for NewsMeme

Example for a graph

Quick Start

Install

To install ERAlchemy, just do:

$ pip install eralchemy

ERAlchemy requires GraphViz to generate the graphs and Python. Both are available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Use from 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 and a database

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

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 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

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.

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

ERAlchemy was inspired by erd, though it is able to render the ER diagram directly from the database and not just only from the ER markup language.
