Installation 🚀

With Maven

To run this plugin, import the following in your project pom.xml :

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.candy-doc</groupId>
    <artifactId>candy-doc</artifactId>
    <version>${candy-doc.version}</version>
</dependency>

<plugin>
    <groupId>io.candy-doc</groupId>
    <artifactId>candy-doc</artifactId>
    <version>${candy-doc.version}</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>ubiquitous-language</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
    <configuration>
        <packagesToScan>
            <packageToScan>com.foo.bar</packageToScan>
        </packagesToScan>
        <outputFormat>json</outputFormat>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Then, specify the configuration parameters:

• outputFormat: The output format in which the documentation is generated.
  • Output format can be either json or yml.
• packagesToScan: The chosen packages to scan to generate a documentation for, as shown below :

<packagesToScan>
    <packageToScan>com.foo.bar.baz</packageToScan>
    <packageToScan>com.foo.qux</packageToScan>
</packagesToScan>

Usage ‍📝

To use the plugin, you need to annotate your project with the DDD annotations described below :

DDD Annotations ✏️

Domain-Driven-Design concepts are identified with annotations.

Strategic patterns

Only package-info.java files can be annotated with @BoundedContext or @SharedKernel. Every other concepts must belong to a strategic pattern.

@BoundedContext(name = "", description = "")

@SharedKernel(name = "", description = "")

Nested bounded contexts or nested shared kernels are forbidden and prevented by the plugin when processing classes.

Tactical patterns

@Aggregate(name = "", description = "")

@DomainCommand(description = "")

@DomainEvent(description = "")

@ValueObject(description = "")

Documentation generation 🏗️

Once your project is correctly annotated with the DDD Annotations, use Maven to run the plugin :

mvn clean install

A JSON file will be generated in the target/candy-doc directory. The next step is the candy-board downloading. Use the following commands :

npm i @candy-doc/cli
candy-doc build /target/candy-doc/ubiquitous-language/

Those two lines will download the Candy-doc CLI and download the Candy-doc UI called Candy-board.

Now, a candy-build repository appeared in your root directory.

You can display your documentation by opening the index.html file in your favorite browser.

UI Manipulation 🕹️

Here's some features of Candy-board. Feel free to use them at your convenience.

• Node move
• SVG export
• Focus on direct neighbors (by checking Enable hiding neigbors)
• Node position storage
• New graph generation (by clicking Reset graph)
