PlantUML Class Diagram Generator for golang projects

GoPlantUML V2

PlantUML Class Diagram Generator for golang projects. Generates class diagram text compatible with plantuml with the information of all structures and interfaces as well as the relationship among them.

Want to try it on your code?

Take a look at www.dumels.com. We have created dumels using this library.

Code of Conduct

Please, review the code of conduct here.

Prerequisites

golang 1.17 or above

Installing

go get github.com/jfeliu007/goplantuml/parser
go install github.com/jfeliu007/goplantuml/cmd/goplantuml@latest

This will install the command goplantuml in your GOPATH bin folder.

Usage

goplantuml [-recursive] path/to/gofiles path/to/gofiles2

goplantuml [-recursive] path/to/gofiles path/to/gofiles2 > diagram_file_name.puml

Usage of goplantuml:
  -aggregate-private-members
        Show aggregations for private members. Ignored if -show-aggregations is not used.
  -hide-connections
        hides all connections in the diagram
  -hide-fields
        hides fields
  -hide-methods
        hides methods
  -ignore string
        comma separated list of folders to ignore
  -notes string
        Comma separated list of notes to be added to the diagram
  -output string
        output file path. If omitted, then this will default to standard output
  -recursive
        walk all directories recursively
  -show-aggregations
        renders public aggregations even when -hide-connections is used (do not render by default)
  -show-aliases
        Shows aliases even when -hide-connections is used
  -show-compositions
        Shows compositions even when -hide-connections is used
  -show-connection-labels
        Shows labels in the connections to identify the connections types (e.g. extends, implements, aggregates, alias of
  -show-implementations
        Shows implementations even when -hide-connections is used
  -show-options-as-note
        Show a note in the diagram with the none evident options ran with this CLI
  -title string
        Title of the generated diagram
  -hide-private-members
        Hides all private members (fields and methods)

// Generates a file ClassDiagram.plum with the previous specifications

There are two different relationships considered in goplantuml:

• Interface implementation
• Type Composition

The following example contains interface implementations and composition. Notice how the signature of the functions

package testingsupport

//MyInterface only has one method, notice the signature return value
type MyInterface interface {
	foo() bool
}

//MyStruct1 will implement the foo() bool function so it will have an "extends" association with MyInterface
type MyStruct1 struct {
}

func (s1 *MyStruct1) foo() bool {
	return true
}

//MyStruct2 will be directly composed of MyStruct1 so it will have a composition relationship with it
type MyStruct2 struct {
	MyStruct1
}

//MyStruct3 will have a foo() function but the return value is not a bool, so it will not have any relationship with MyInterface
type MyStruct3 struct {
    Foo MyStruct1
}

func (s3 *MyStruct3) foo() {

}

This will be generated from the previous code

@startuml
namespace testingsupport {
    interface MyInterface  {
        - foo() bool

    }
    class MyStruct1 << (S,Aquamarine) >> {
        - foo() bool

    }
    class MyStruct2 << (S,Aquamarine) >> {
    }
    class MyStruct3 << (S,Aquamarine) >> {
        - foo() 

        + Foo MyStruct1

    }
}
testingsupport.MyStruct1 *-- testingsupport.MyStruct2

testingsupport.MyInterface <|-- testingsupport.MyStruct1

testingsupport.MyStruct3 o-- testingsupport.MyStruct1
