plantuml_styles

A collection of PlantUML styles.

Motivation

For starters, I've wanted a good database schema diagramming tool for a while. I recently stumbled across these two wonderful usages of PlantUML:

• C4 PlantUML
• Quantum Ghost's Schema Diagram gist

Usage

Simply add these two lines near the top of of your PlantUML file:

  !include https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jonathar/plantuml_styles/main/DB_Schema.puml
  LAYOUT_WITH_LEGEND()

Then define the schema thusly (see the samples/relational_db_scheam.puml for relations):

Table(user, "user\n(User in our system)") {
    pk(id) INTEGER
    not_null(unique(username)) VARCHAR[32]
    not_null(password) VARCHAR[64]
    constraints_header()
    unique_constraint(uc_user (id, username))
}
