Functionality

Metanorma plugin that allows you to access lutaml objects from a Metanorma document

Installation

$ gem install metanorma-plugin-lutaml

Usage, lutaml macro

Given example.exp file with the content:

SCHEMA test_schema 'test';

(* Need select elements for measure_value *)
 REFERENCE FROM measure_schema
   (measure_value);

  TYPE my_type1 = EXTENSIBLE SELECT;
  END_TYPE;

  TYPE my_type2 = EXTENSIBLE ENUMERATION;
  END_TYPE;

  TYPE my_type3 = EXTENSIBLE ENUMERATION;
  END_TYPE;

  TYPE my_type4 = EXTENSIBLE ENUMERATION;
  END_TYPE;

  TYPE my_type5 = EXTENSIBLE ENUMERATION;
  END_TYPE;
END_SCHEMA;

And the lutaml macro block:

[lutaml,example.exp,my_context]
----

{% for schema in my_context.schemas %}
== {{schema.id}}

{% for entity in schema.entities %}
=== {{entity.id}}
{% endfor %}

{% endfor %}
----

Where:

  • content within the block is called the “template”;

  • {example.exp} is the location of the EXPRESS schema file (*.exp) that contains data to be loaded. Location of the file is computed relative to the source directory that [lutaml] is used (e.g., if [lutaml,example.exp,my_context] is invoked in an .adoc file located at /foo/bar/doc.adoc, the data file is expected to be found at /foo/bar/example.exp);

  • {my_context} is the name where the EXPRESS Repository read from the .exp file can be accessed with. Context object is a serialized Expressir::Model::Repository object with all variable names available. See Expressir docs for reference. {my_context} has schemas method to access Expressir schemas

Will produce this output:

== test_schema

=== my_type1
=== my_type2
=== my_type3
=== my_type4
=== my_type5

This macro also supports .lutaml files.

Instead of using the direct path to the file one can use lutaml-express-index document attribute to supply directory with express files or YAML index file to parse as well as the cache file location.

The syntax is as follows:

:lutaml-express-index: my_custom_name; dir_or_index_path[; cache=cache_path]

Where:

  • my_custom_name - is name of the parsed EXPRESS files context for the later use with lutaml macro

  • dir_or_index_path - location of directory with EXPRESS files or path to the YAML index file to parse

  • cache_path - optional, location of the Expressir cache file to use

Example of usage:

= Document title
Author
:lutaml-express-index: my_custom_name; /path/to/express_files; cache=/path/to/cache_file.yaml
[lutaml,my_custom_name,my_context]
----
{% for schema in my_context.schemas %}
== {{schema.id}}
{% endfor %}
----

Usage, lutaml_diagram macro

This macro allows to quickly render lutaml file as diagram image. Given example.lutaml file with the content:

diagram MyView {
  title "my diagram"

  enum AddressClassProfile {
    imlicistAttributeProfile: CharacterString [0..1] {
      definition
        this is multiline with `ascidoc`
      end definition
    }
  }

  class AttributeProfile {
    +addressClassProfile: CharacterString [0..1]
    imlicistAttributeProfile: CharacterString [0..1] {
      definition this is attribute definition
    }
  }
}

And the lutaml_diagram macro:

lutaml_diagram::example.lutaml[]

Will add diagram image to the document

Also one can use lutaml_diagram block with embed lutaml code instead of block macro. Example:

[lutaml_diagram]
....
diagram MyView {
  title "my diagram"

  enum AddressClassProfile {
    imlicistAttributeProfile: CharacterString [0..1] {
      definition
        this is multiline with `ascidoc`
      end definition
    }
  }

  class AttributeProfile {
    +addressClassProfile: CharacterString [0..1]
    imlicistAttributeProfile: CharacterString [0..1] {
      definition this is attribute definition
    }
  }
}
....

Usage, lutaml_uml_attributes_table macro

This macro allows to quickly render data model attributes/values tables.

Given example.lutaml file with the content:

diagram MyView {
  title "my diagram"

  enum AddressClassProfile {
    imlicistAttributeProfile: CharacterString [0..1] {
      definition
        this is multiline with `ascidoc`
      end definition
    }
  }

  class AttributeProfile {
    +addressClassProfile: CharacterString [0..1]
    imlicistAttributeProfile: CharacterString [0..1] {
      definition this is attribute definition
    }
  }
}

And the lutaml_uml_attributes_table macro:

[lutaml_uml_attributes_table, example.lutaml, AttributeProfile]

Will produce this output:

=== AttributeProfile


.AttributeProfile attributes
|===
|Name |Definition |Mandatory/ Optional/ Conditional |Max Occur |Data Type

|addressClassProfile |TODO: enum 's definition |M |1 | `CharacterString`

|imlicistAttributeProfile |this is attribute definition with multiply lines |M |1 | `CharacterString`

|===

In case of "enumeration"(AddressClassProfile) entity:

[lutaml_uml_attributes_table, example.lutaml, AddressClassProfile]

Will produce this output:

=== AddressClassProfile


.AddressClassProfile values
|===
|Name |Definition

|imlicistAttributeProfile |this is multiline with `ascidoc`

|===

Usage, lutaml_uml_datamodel_description macro

This macro allows to quickly render data model packages and its dependent objects for supplied XMI file.

Given an Enterprise Architect example.xmi file with 2 packages:

  • 'Another'

  • 'CityGML'

The lutaml_uml_datamodel_description macro can be used:

[lutaml_uml_datamodel_description, path/to/example.xmi]
--
[.before]
....
my text
....

[.diagram_include_block, base_path="requirements/"]
....
Diagram text
....

[.include_block, package="Another", base_path="spec/fixtures"]
....
my text
....

[.include_block, base_path="spec/fixtures"]
....
my text
....

[.before, package="Another"]
....
text before Another package
....

[.after, package="Another"]
....
text after Another package
....

[.after, package="CityGML"]
....
text after CityGML package
....

[.after]
....
footer text
....
--
--

Where:

  • path/to/example.xmi - required, path to the XMI file to render

  • [.before] - macro to add additional text before the rendered output, can be used only once, additional occurrences of macro will overwrite text, not that literal block style must be used in there(eg …​.)

  • [.after] - macro to add additional text after the rendered output, can be used only once, additional occurrences of macro will overwrite text

  • [.after, package="Another"] - macro with text to be inserted before(after in case of .before name) the package

  • [.diagram_include_block] - macro to automatically include diagram images. Attribute base_path is a required attribute to supply path prefix where to look for a digram image. The logic is as follows:

{% for diagram in package.diagrams %}
[[figure-{{ diagram.xmi_id }}]]
.{{ diagram.name }}
image::{{ image_base_path }}/{{ diagram.xmi_id }}.png[]

{% if diagram.definition %}
{{ diagram.definition | html2adoc }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Eg: script will take package diagrams supplied in xmi file and will try to include image with the name equal to diagram' xmi_id attribute plus .png. Also one can add any text to the macro text, it will be added as paragraph before each image include.

  • [.diagram_include_block, package="Another"] - same as above, but diagram will be included only for supplied package name

  • [.include_block, base_path="spec/fixtures"] - macro to inlude files(adoc/liquid) for each package name. Attribute base_path is a required attribute to supply path prefix where to look for file to include. Macro will look for a file called base_path + / package_name(downcase, replace : → '', ' ' → '') + .adoc[.liquid], eg for package 'My Package name' and base_path eq to my/path, macro will look for the following file path: my/path/_my_package_name.adoc.

  • [.include_block, package="Another", base_path="spec/fixtures"] - same as above, but include block will be included only for supplied package name

In addition to macroses listed above that can be used only inside lutaml_uml_datamodel_description macro there is another macro called lutaml_figure. lutaml_figure is used to lookup and reference xmi package diagrams. The syntax is as follows:

This is lutaml_figure::[package="Wrapper root package", name="Fig B1 Full model"] figure

This code will be transformed into [figure-{diagram.xmi_id}] and will point to diagram figure. One can only use this macro when document rendered lutaml_uml_datamodel_description macro as it needs diagram lookup table in order to refernce package diagram.

Will produce this output:

my text
== CityGML package
=== CityGML overview

Diagram text

[[figure-EAID_ACBB5EE3_3428_40f5_9C7C_E41923419F29]]

=== Additional Information

text after CityGML package

In addition to just supplying XMI file, this macro also supports YAML configuration file.

The format for using YAML is this:

---
packages:
  # includes these packages
  - "Package *"
  - two*
  - three
  # skips these packages
  - skip: four
render_style: entity_list|data_dictionary|default
section_depth: 2

Where:

  • packages - required, root element with the list of strings or objects

  • Package * - pattern matching, specifies lookup condition for packages to render.

    Note
    In this example, it is equal to the following regular expression: /^Package.*$/
  • skip: four - object with package name to skip

  • render_style - what template to use to render packages, can be: entity_list, data_dictionary or default

  • section_depth - what package to use as root package for render, eg section_depth equal to 2 tells processor to use first nested package of the first root packages in xmi file. Example: if xmi file has this package structure: [{ name: 'One', packages: [{ name: 'one-1' }, { name: 'one-2' }] }, { name: 'Two', packages: [{ name: 'two-1' }, { name: 'two-2' }] }] and we have section_depth equal to 2, root package will be one-1

Usage with macro:

[lutaml_uml_datamodel_description, path/to/example.xmi, path/to/config.yml]
....

The macro processor will read supplied YAML file and arrange packages according to the order supplied in the config file, also all packages supplied as skip will be skipped during render
