Show Attributes in the Diagrams

[Fei-321]

I found that the Attributes section does not seem to be displayed in the generated Diagrams. How can I make this part visible in the Diagram? If I need to modify the C4Interflow code, which part should I change?
Thank you for your help.

Hi,

Could you please share an example of your AaC with Attributes and an example of C4-PlantUML diagram of how you would like it to me rendered.

I'm assuming you've added some attributes to either SoftwareSystem, Container or Component structure(s).

I'm also assuming that you are using either YAML or JSON AaC.

https://github.com/plantuml-stdlib/C4-PlantUML supports the following:

AddProperty("Angular Version", "7")

This would render a table inside the Structure box e.g.

If this is what you want to achieve, then C4InterFlow requires a few changes as follows:

• https://github.com/SlavaVedernikov/C4InterFlow/blob/master/C4InterFlow/Structures/Structure.cs
  • Extend Structure with IEnumerable Attributes
• https://github.com/SlavaVedernikov/C4InterFlow/blob/master/C4InterFlow.Automation/Readers/JObjectStructuresResolver.cs
  • Extend GetInstance to process Attributes for SoftwareSystems, Containers and Components collections
• https://github.com/SlavaVedernikov/C4InterFlow/blob/master/C4InterFlow/Visualisation/Plantuml/PlantumlStructure.cs
  • For each Attribute prepend the main procedure with AddProperty procedure in ToPumlString extensions for SoftwareSystem, Container and Component types.

Hope this helps. Feel free to change and create a PR if you like.

I can also add this feature for you via a one-time sponsorship program
