## What it is
A Laravel package that generates entity relation diagrams by inspecting relationships defined in Eloquent model files, using GraphViz under the hood. It provides an artisan command that outputs diagrams as PNG, SVG, or text.

## Use cases
- generate ER diagrams from Laravel models
- visualize database relationships in a Laravel app
- document Eloquent model relationships automatically
- export entity relation diagram as PNG or SVG
- create text representation of model relationships

## When to choose
- you have a Laravel or Lumen app with Eloquent models and want automatic ER diagrams
- you want a quick artisan command to visualize model relationships
- you need customizable diagram generation with multiple output formats

## When to avoid
- your project is not built on Laravel/Eloquent
- you need diagrams from raw database schemas rather than model files
- you cannot install the GraphViz dependency

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, cli, data-visualization
- domain: developer-tools, documentation, web-development, databases
- platform: php, cli, cross-platform
- tags: laravel, eloquent, entity-relation-diagram, graphviz, artisan-command, database-schema
