I’m excited to share a tool I recently built called Mongoviz. It's a node.js utility designed to automatically generate Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERDs) from Mongoose models. If you use Mongoose for handling MongoDB in your Node.js applications, you might find this tool particularly useful for visualizing your database schemas.

Why Mongoviz?

When working with complex Mongoose schemas, it can be challenging to keep track of how collections are related, especially as projects grow and more developers get involved. Visual diagrams are an excellent way to ensure everyone on the team understands the database structure at a glance.

I built Mongoviz because I couldn't find a simple tool that fits directly into the Node.js/Mongoose ecosystem without needing extensive configuration or external services.
