) -> EntityRelationshipDiagram

Construct EntityRelationshipDiagram from given data model classes or modules.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
*models_or_modules	type | ModuleType	Data model classes to add to diagram, or modules to search for data model classes.	()
terminal_models	Collection[type]	Data model classes to set as terminal nodes. erdantic will stop searching for component classes when it reaches these models	tuple()
termini	Collection[type]	Deprecated. Use terminal_models instead.	tuple()
limit_search_models_to	Collection[str] | None	Plugin identifiers to limit to when searching modules for data model classes. Defaults to None which will not impose any limits.	None

Returns:

Type	Description
EntityRelationshipDiagram	diagram object for given data model.

Raises:

Type	Description
UnknownModelTypeError	if a given model does not match any model types from loaded plugins.
UnresolvableForwardRefError	if a model contains a forward reference that cannot be automatically resolved.
