mermaidmro 0.2.1

Create mermaid graphs from the method resolution order (mro) of Python objects.

mermaidmro

Create mermaid graphs from the method resolution order (mro) of Python objects.

CLI Examples

For the examples below, let's consider the following classes saved in a file code.py that can be imported via import code (adjust your PYTHONPATH if this is not the case).

# code.py

class A(object):
    pass

class B(object):
    pass

class C(A):
    pass

class D(C, B):
    pass

Generate mermaid text

Simply pass the module and class in the format module_name:class_name to mermaidmro.

> mermaidmro code:D

graph TD
    code.D("code.D (0)")
    code.C("code.C (1)")
    code.A("code.A (2)")
    code.B("code.B (3)")
    object("object (4)")

    code.C --> code.D
    code.B --> code.D
    code.A --> code.C
    object --> code.B
    object --> code.A

You can hide the mro indices by adding --no-mro / -n.

> mermaidmro code:D --no-mro

graph TD
    code.C --> code.D
    code.B --> code.D
    code.A --> code.C
    object --> code.B
    object --> code.A

You can also limit the maximum depth via --max-depth / -m.

> mermaidmro code:D --no-mro --max-depth 1

graph TD
    code.A --> code.D
    code.B --> code.D

Open the graph in your browser

Just configure the executable of your browser you like to open the graph with via --cmd / -c (on Macs this is usually just open). This functionality is based on the mermaid.live service.

> mermaidmro code:D --cmd open

# opens https://mermaid.ink/img/pako:eNptkM8KwjAMh18l5JSBE_-dPAht9wgec6lbdYrdZNTT2LvbUUvLWE6_fB8kISPWfWPwDPgY9KeFa8Ud-JrptiLGEIB2BWORORWdAtovnIhOAB0WTkYngY7J9beXqZ13IQCdgss3Qlle_oflA9exSFjlKxKW61jgBtCawepnM_9lZHStsYZ9w9iYu_6-HeOE0w_Nr1i5?type=png

To open the graph in the live editor, add --edit.

Visualize the graph in your terminal

This requires that you have a tool installed that lets you visualize images in your terminal, e.g. imgcat for iTerm2.

> mermaidmro code:D --visualize imgcat

# shows

Download the graph

> mermaidmro code:D --download graph.png

Installation

Simply install via pip

pip install mermaidmro
