ea for reverse engineering js into flow chart
« on: February 09, 2014, 11:45:00 pm »
Hi

I need a tool to generate flow chart from the code I write in html5 + javascript + jquerymobile. I read enterprise architect is the right tool. How to use it for that purpose?

Hmm. What is a flow chart? If it's that what I guess: use Visio.

A flow chart is a strategic model.

See page 9 of http://www.sparxsystems.com/downloads/quick/strategic_modeling_with_enterprise_architect.pdf.

Note also some caveats.

You would be hard pressed to find it in the EA help.

Who's to say I didn't.

and some 'bugs' (someone termed this salesware).



  • it is not possible to use the quick linker to link to or from the On Page Connector. This is a bug.    
  • it is not possible to remove the stereo text from the Begin, End, and Decision names displayed in the diagram.This is a bug.  
  • when using the quick linker a "connector" link is created without prompting for the type, except when the source is Process, DefinedProcess. This is a bug, there should not be a prompt

Useful information from support

Regarding the comments in the forum...
    >> It is not possible to use the quick linker to link to or from the On Page Connector.
  • Our developers have confirmed that this is a bug and it is logged to be fixed. As a workaround you can create these connectors via toolbox instead.

 
>> It is not possible to remove the stereo text from the Begin, End, and Decision names displayed in the diagram.
  • You can hide these labels by disabling the "Diagram | Properties > Elements | Show Element Stereotypes" option.

 
>> when using the quick linker a "connector" link is created without prompting for the type, except when the source is Process, DefinedProcess Source or target
  • It appears some types are inheriting common connectors. Our developers have confirmed that this is a bug also. As a workaround you can create these connectors via the toolbox.
