Generate an Entity Relationship Diagram for a Django project in Mermaid format

You can install via pip:

pip install django-diagram

Navigate to the directory containing your Django project (the folder containing manage.py) and run:

python -m django_diagram

The following options are available:

--settings=project.settings.local - The dotted path to the settings module (either this option must be provided or the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable must be set)

--title="My Title" - The title to use for the diagram

--app=app_name - Restrict to only a particular Django app. If there are related models outside of this app they will be represented just by a single box rather than showing all the model attributes (see the example below).

--output=diagram.txt - The output file to write the mermaid definition, if this option is not provided the output will be written to stdout

For a list of integrations and plugins that will render the diagram from the mermaid definition see the mermaid documentation.

For example, many Markdown renderers (including GitHub) will render the diagram if you wrap the mermaid definition in a code block with the language set to mermaid:

```mermaid
---
Django ER Diagram
---
erDiagram
Doggo {
    BigAutoField id
    CharField name
}
```
