Pydantic 2 Mermaid

To convert Pydantic 2 models to Mermaid charts, you can use the pydantic-2-mermaid library. This library allows you to generate Mermaid charts from your Pydantic models. Here are the steps to install and use pydantic-mermaid:

If you are using pydantic 1, please visit https://github.com/EricWebsmith/pydantic_mermaid

Use in terminal

Install the pydantic-2-mermaid library using pip:

pip install pydantic-2-mermaid

Use command line

pydantic-mermaid --module models.py --output models.md

You can run the following comamand get help for the command.

pydantic-mermaid --help

Use in code

1. Import your Pydantic models into your Python script.
2. Create an instance of the MermaidGenerator class from the pydantic-2-mermaid module and pass in your Pydantic models as arguments.

from pydantic_mermaid import MermaidGenerator

import my_module

generator = MermaidGenerator(my_module)

3. Call the generate_chart() method of the MermaidGenerator instance to generate the Mermaid chart.

chart = generator.generate_chart()

4. Use the chart variable to display or save the Mermaid chart.

print(chart)

This will print the Mermaid chart as a string. You can also save the chart to a file by writing the chart string to a file:

with open("chart.mmd", "w") as f:
    f.write(chart)

This will save the Mermaid chart to a file called chart.mmd. You can then use a tool like the Mermaid Live Editor to visualize and edit the chart.
