ClassGenerator

Introduction

The purpose of the ClassGenerator tool is to seamlessly transform JavaScript classes into PlantUML script, allowing for the effortless generation of UML Class diagrams. To illustrate its functionality, let's consider an illustrative example — an exemplary JavaScript class that we can readily convert into a visually appealing UML class diagram.

JavaScript Class

Create a standard JavaScript class, like so:

class.js

PlantUML Class Diagram

Convert JavaScript class into PlantUML class diagram, using ClassGenerator...

BuildClass.py

class.js

class.png

This process will intermediately produce a PlantUML script; prior to a UML image!

PlantUML Image Types

Each available image type accessible via the -m or --make flag



                            
                                png
                                svg
                                eps
                                eps:text
                                pdf
                                vdx
                                xmi
                                scxml
                                html
                                txt
                                utxt
                                latex
                                latex:nopreamble
                                braille

PlantUML Script

Convert JavaScript class into PlantUML script, using ClassGenerator...

BuildClass.py

class.js

class.txt

This process will only produce a PlantUML script!

PlantUML Linked Class Diagram

Convert JavaScript class with linked JavaScript objects into a linked PlantUML class diagram...

BuildClass.py

class.js

class.png

This process also produces PlantUML scripts & images for each UML model!
