Important: To do this activity, you need to fork this repo into your Github account and then open the forked repo on Codespaces (recommended) or Gitpod.

Inside the src/models.py file you will find a couple of classes describing an example database.

Here is a 4min video explaining what UML is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UI6lqHOVHic

We are going to be creating the Entity Relationship Diagram for your StarWars Blog Database, a very similar diagram to this one:

💻 Installation

1. Get inside the environment $ pipenv shell

2. Install all dependencies $ pipenv install

3. Generate de diagram as many times as you need $ python src/models.py

4. Open the file diagram.png to check out your UML diagram!

📝 Instructions

Your Job is to update the src/models.py file with the code needed to replicate the StarWars data model.

The project is using the SQLAlchemy Python library to generate the database.

• Your project must have a table User that will represent your blog users.
• Your blog users will be able to login and save their favorite planets and characters.
• The database should store the user favorites.
• The database should store characters and planets.
• What other tables do you think a blog like this might have?
• What properties should go inside the user? or inside the Character or Favorite table?
• What are the relationships between those tables?
• Please add at least 4 models with all of their properties.
• Generate the diagram.png file at the end by running $ python src/models.py on the console.
