RE: Generation of state diagram documentation from SNL

[DESMARCHELIER Gabriel via Tech-talk <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

Hello,

I've made this project available on github : https://github.com/gabriel-desmarchelier/plasma

Let me know if you manage to use it, and to what extent. No doubt it could be improved a lot.

Best,

Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,

 

Thanks for the reply – I’m very interested!

 

The file you attached like the output I would be looking for.

 

 

Thanks again for reaching out,

You don't often get email from gabriel.desmarchelier@cea.fr. Learn why this is important

Hello,

On our side, we've developed a script that uses tree-sitter-epics (https://github.com/epics-extensions/tree-sitter-epics) to parse the SNL and build a Mermaid diagram from it.

It's not very UML-compliant but it has a convenient option that allows the diagram to include all statements found in state entries and transitions. I've attached an example.

Let me know if you are interested, since it's not publicly available at the moment.

Best regards,

Gabriel
