erdify 0.9.0 — configurable model-file discovery (--include)

[FabianClemenz]

erdify 0.9.0 is out 🎉

Configurable model-file discovery. Install with pip install -U erdify (or bump your pre-commit rev to v0.9.0).

New: --include

By default erdify scans every file named models.py. Now you can scan other layouts — a models/ package, or files like tables.py / db.py — with glob patterns:

# A models/ package split across files
erdify ./app --include '**/models/*.py'

# Keep models.py AND add a package and a custom file
erdify ./app --include models.py '**/models/*.py' tables.py

Pattern rules:

• A pattern with / (e.g. **/models/*.py) matches the path relative to the input — ** crosses directories, */? do not cross /.
• A pattern without / (e.g. *_models.py) matches a filename at any depth.

--include replaces the default, so list models.py explicitly if you still want it. Also settable in [tool.erdify]:

[tool.erdify]
include = ["models.py", "**/models/*.py"]

When run at the default, erdify now prints a one-line hint if it spots a models/ package it skipped.

💡 Tip: prefer targeted patterns over **/*.py — a repo-wide scan reads unrelated modules and can let a non-model class shadow a same-named model.

Compatibility

Opt-in and fully backward compatible — the default still scans only models.py, verified byte-identical against production repos. Nothing changes unless you pass --include.
