Call-Sequencer
==============

[](#call-sequencer)

Simple tool that allows to convert xdebug trace files into plantUML sequence diagrams.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can include this tool into your project using composer:

```
composer require --dev thomasmeschke/call-sequencer

```

Usage:
------

[](#usage)

```
php cseq.php -i -o [-c]

```

The options are as follows:

```
-i    required  The xdebug trace file to process
-o   required  The plantUML output file to generate
-c  optional  A JSON file containing the compiler options

```

Inputfiles
----------

[](#inputfiles)

The tool takes xdebug trace files (\*.xt) with the trace-format configured to "3".

Outputfiles
-----------

[](#outputfiles)

The tool prints files in the PlantUML format. The content can be pasted into [the online PlantUML Editor](https://plantuml.com/ "PlantUML web page featuring an online server editor and renderer") or can be viewed and exportet with tools like the [VSCode PlantUML Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jebbs.plantuml "VSCode Extension Marketplace page for the PlantUML Extension").

Compiler option files
---------------------

[](#compiler-option-files)

The compiler options JSON file is structured as follows:

```
{
    "basePath": "",
    "cutOffNamespaces": [],
    "replaceOptions": {
    }
}
```

`basePath(string)`: Path segment to be removed from absolute paths, e.g. the projects root path. This gets removed from all absolute paths, like include paths.

`cutOffNamespace(array)`: List of namespaces that the diagram will not follow into, e.g. the used frameworks base namespace. Only the first stackframe inside these namespaces will be included in every callstack.

`replaceOptions(object)`: A collection of keys and string values, specifying which string is to be replace with which. Can be used to redact sensitive information like company names from the resulting diagram.

Planned features
----------------

[](#planned-features)

The future might bring additional features like the possibility to choose the input trace file format via CLI parameter, as well as other output formats like flame charts.
