Hello, this isnomnoml, a tool for drawing UML diagrams based on a simple syntax. It tries to keep its syntax visually as close as possible to the generated UML diagram without resorting to ASCII drawings.
Created byDaniel Kallin with help from a group ofcontributors.
Thenomnoml javascript library can render diagrams on your web page. The only dependency isgraphre. Install nomnoml using eithernpm or good old script inclusion.
npm install nomnoml
varnomnoml=require('nomnoml')varsrc='[nomnoml] is -> [awesome]'console.log(nomnoml.renderSvg(src))
In the SVG output the node name is attached to SVG shapes and<g>
containers withdata-name
attribute. You can use this to implement interactive diagrams.
document.querySelector('svg').onclick=function(e){console.log(e.target.closest('g[data-name]')?.attributes['data-name'])}
<scriptsrc="//unpkg.com/graphre/dist/graphre.js"></script><scriptsrc="//unpkg.com/nomnoml/dist/nomnoml.js"></script><canvasid="target-canvas"></canvas><script>varcanvas=document.getElementById('target-canvas')varsource='[nomnoml] is -> [awesome]'nomnoml.draw(canvas,source)</script>
npx nomnoml
exposes the SVG renderer with a command-line interface. This mode also supports the#import: <filename>
directive for dividing complex diagrams into multiple files.
npx nomnoml input-file.noml
Thenomnoml web application is a simple editor with a live preview. It is purely client-side and uses your browser'slocalStorage, so your diagram should be here the next time you visit (but no guarantees).
This is how the Decorator pattern can look in nomnoml syntax:
[<frame>Decorator pattern| [<abstract>Component||+ operation()] [Client] depends --> [Component] [Decorator|- next: Component] [Decorator] decorates -- [ConcreteComponent] [Component] <:- [Decorator] [Component] <:- [ConcreteComponent]]
- association-> association<-> association--> dependency<--> dependency-:> generalization<:- generalization--:> implementation<:-- implementation+- composition+-> compositiono- aggregationo-> aggregation-o) ball and socketo<-) ball and socket->o ball and socket-- note-/- hidden
[name][<abstract> name][<instance> name][<reference> name][<note> name][<package> name][<frame> name][<database> name][<pipe> name][<start> name][<end> name][<state> name][<choice> name][<sync> name][<input> name][<lollipop> lollipop][<sender> name][<socket> socket][<receiver> name][<transceiver> name][<actor> name][<usecase> name][<label> name][<hidden> name][<table> name| a | 5 || b | 7]
Comments are supported at the start of a line.
//[commented][not //commented]
Two distinct nodes can have the same display name with the id attribute.
[<actor id=a>User][<actor id=b>User][a] -- [b]

A directive that starts with "." define a classifier style. The style is written as a space separated list of modifiers and key/value pairs.
