Write-ClassDiagram

Allows to generate UML diagrams of powerShell scripts / modules that contain PowerShell classes.

This module has a dependency on Kevin Marquette's PSGraph powershell module.

Functionality

It currently support the following features:

• Document Class
  • Properties
  • Methods
  • Constructors
• Inheritance

Examples

A script called inheritance.ps1 contains the following code:

Class Woop {
    [String]$String
    [int]$number

    Woop([String]$String,[int]$Number){

    }

    [String]DoSomething(){
        return $this.String
    }
}

Class Wap :Woop {
    [String]$prop3

    DoChildthing(){}

}

Class Wep : Woop {
    [String]$prop4

    DoOtherChildThing(){

    }
}

Calling Write-ClassDiagram

.\Write-ClassDiagram.ps1 -Path ".\Inheritance.ps1"

Results

Live examples from existing modules on the internet:

I took the 'liberty' to run Write-ClassDiagram on some well known modules available on the internet that are classed based. These are all great modules, and I recommend you have a look at them!

Class.HostsManagement

Below is the export of the Class Diagram of a module I wrote that helps to manage HostsFiles accross the network using PowerShell classes. (The project is accessible Here)
