The C4 model for system diagrams is really great. But adoption is a little tough if the code base is being explained after the fact. For instance, Agile practices are interpreted very literally and there's no up-front diagrams. So now you have a codebase with very little system diagrams. This tool is meant to consume active codebases and retrieve the system using the C4 model to organize and spit out very simple Structurizr DSL files which can then be maintained after creation to bootstrap the process of mass adoption of C4 model system diagrams and the Structurizr services such as SaaS and CLI tooling.
This project is still in development. Take a look at Issues to help track the
work. They should all be labeled with help wanted
for anything that outside
folks can contribute to. Also, there's a need for documentation so if there's
anything that needs to be updated or is confusing or missing, please contribute
directly back to the documentation.
The branches are well documented but not intuitive. Please read through the Issue below for more discussion on this.
There are three branches because of the rapid development of Scuttle in recent
months. The old legacy Scuttle is on the master
branch which is named that way
for legacy reasons. There is also the scuttle-dos
branch which is the initial
working sketch that uses Structurizr and PlantUML to generate diagrams. Finally
there is the main
default branch which contains the code for the Scuttle CLI
which is more ambitious in nature than scuttle-dos
but will begin development
implementating the scuttle-dos
functionality.
To work with Rust locally, install the rustup
tool chain. You can find more
information on installing it at their homepage.
Once you've installed rustup
, clone this repository and run cargo build
.
This will give you a scuttle
binary at target/debug/scuttle
which you can
use to test the CLI tool. As you edit the Rust code found in the src/
directory, you can continue running cargo build
to rebuild the scuttle
binary.
cargo build
target/debug/scuttle --help
