How to create a sequence diagram or class diagram for dart code?

[Entaro Adun]

There has been a question on stackoverflow about sequence and class diagrams for dart code.

Is there a way to create a sequence diagram or class diagram for dart code? Or any other useful way to visualize the structure (or a vague programmflow) of a dart application.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13109749/how-to-create-a-sequence-diagram-or-class-diagram-for-dart-code

There is also a feature request on dartbug.com : http://code.google.com/p/dart/issues/detail?id=6558&q=sequence%20diagram&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Area%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary

If you are interested, star it.

Since dart will be used to create "structured" web applications, an editor tool to create sequence diagrams and class diagrams is needed.
There should be a way to visualize the structure and sequence of called operations of a dart application.

A really awesome sequence diagram would be, if you could specify a starting point and an end point in your code. Between those two points, every executed operation (e.g. called method, callbacks and asynchrounous stuff) should be tracked and displayed. Every user input should have effect on the seq. diagram.

It would be so much easier to work in teams and communicate other developers your code/application.

Hi Entaro,

Thanks for the question! I'm not aware of any tools that do this, but I'm curious if our Eclipse plugin for Dart would help. There are lots of interesting visualization and UML type plugins for Eclipse, I wonder if our plugin for Dart exposes code in a generic way that would interface with other UML plugins.

Keep us posted, and thanks for linking to the feature request,

Seth

This has to be a "must have feature" for a structured new language.

I just had the chance to create a class diagram and a sequence diagram (in an another language) and this is just awesome. Working in a team and communicating the programmflow is so much easier.

Dart must have some kind of tool to accomplish those things!!

Does anyone have any updates to share on this topic? The Eclipse plugin is no longer supported. I'm an IntelliJ (Pycharm, Webstorm, IDEA, Goland, etc) user, but I'm not aware of a way to generate and *save* diagrams from there.

PlantUML may be what you're looking for in the IntelliJ/IDE world (among others): http://plantuml.com/download

I had issues running it myself at a meetup recently, but I've seen it done.

I'm more interested in https://mermaidjs.github.io/, personally. Depending on my IDE to do generation makes me very sad. Wiring it up as part of a build system feels right.

This doesn't mean it will "read" the source Dart code, but it's the second half of the puzzle: generate and *save* diagrams. :)

Cheers,

David

I'm specifically looking for something to generate the diagram from source, not for manual creation. Mermaid looks handy; similar to seqdiag - simple sequence-diagram image generator — blockdiag 1.0 documentation and PlantUML, both of which I've used for manual creation.

In case anyone is still interested, Pat and I wrote a tool to do this. It can be found here: https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/dcdg
