# Damn::Legacy
Quite a lot of time I have to work with huge legacy code bases. When I face a bug I create small ruby script to put everything I've found or related information.
I create small DSL to describe "stacktraces" which I create by hand. Main goal of this gem is provide a nice DSL to create this kind of code mind maps.
I found it useful for few reasons first one all IDE support code navigation it means I can easely jump to real classes and keep context of the task tight in one file.
Second benefit this DSL can create diagrams currently it's support only [Mermaid.js](https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/stateDiagram) state diagram.
Good thing about it you can easily visualise it and embed in your document to share it with someone for your own knowledge base.

I'm trying this thing as POC means if you find it useful it's cool if not whatever :)

```ruby
Damn::Legacy.turn_on
Damn::Legacy.store_clean

DeductMoney.meth(:prepare).step do
Mail
end

Payment.meth([call: [validate: [check_balance: [:pay, :fail]]]]).step do
DeductMoney.meth(:call).step do
InformUser.meth(:notify).step do
Mail
end
end
end

```
Example

```mermaid
stateDiagram-v2
DeductMoney --> DeductMoney#prepare
DeductMoney --> DeductMoney#call
DeductMoney#prepare --> Mail
Payment --> Payment#call
Payment#call --> Payment#call#validate
Payment#call#validate --> Payment#call#validate#check_balance
Payment#call#validate#check_balance --> Payment#call#validate#check_balance#pay
Payment#call#validate#check_balance --> Payment#call#validate#check_balance#fail
InformUser --> InformUser#notify
InformUser#notify --> Mail
DeductMoney#call --> InformUser
Payment#call#validate#check_balance#pay --> DeductMoney
Payment#call#validate#check_balance#fail --> DeductMoney
```
