# NAME

Doc::TypeGraph - Parse a description of the types for documentation.

# SYNOPSIS

```Raku

use Doc::TypeGraph;

# create and initialize it
my $tg = Doc::TypeGraph.new-from-file("./resources/type-graph.txt");

# and use it!
say $tg.sorted;
```

# DESCRIPTION

Doc::TypeGraph creates a graph of all types in a file that describes
them. It gives you info about what classes a type inherits from and the roles it does. In addition, it also computes the inversion of this relations, which let you know what types inherit a given type and the types implementing a specific role.

All types are represented using a `Doc::Type` object. Categories are just
descriptive and are not really used in the generation of graphs. They will
probably be eliminated in later iterations of this library.

# Installation

You will need to have `graphviz` installed to generate the graphs; it uses
`dot`
# FILE SYNTAX

[ Category ]
# only one-line comments are supported
packagetype typename[role-signature]
packagetype typename[role-signature] is typename[role-signature] # inheritance
packagetype typename[role-signature] does typename[role-signature] # roles

[ Another cateogory ]

- Supported categories: `Metamodel`, `Domain-specific`, `Basic`, `Composite`, `Exceptions` and `Core`.

- Supported packagetypes: `class`, `module`, `role` and `enum`.

- Supported typenames: whatever string following the syntax
`class1::class2::class3 ...`; `class` follows the usual identifier
format that might include apostrophes and dashes.

- `[role-signature]` is not processed, but you can add it anyway.

- If your type inherits from more than one type or implements several roles, you can add more `is` and `does` statements (separated by spaces).

Example:

[Metamodel]
# Metamodel
class Metamodel::Archetypes
role Metamodel::AttributeContainer
class Metamodel::GenericHOW does Metamodel::Naming
class Metamodel::MethodDispatcher is Metamodel::BaseDispatcher is Another::Something
enum Bool is Int
module Test

(whitespace is only included for appearance, it does not have any
meaning)

### has Associative %.types

Format: \$name => Doc::Type.

### has Positional @.sorted

Sorted array of type names.

### method new-from-file

```raku
method new-from-file(
$fn
) returns Mu
```

Initialize %.types from a file.

### method parse-from-file

```raku
method parse-from-file(
$fn
) returns Mu
```

Parse the file (using the Decl grammar) and initialize %.types and @.sorted

### method topo-sort

```raku
method topo-sort() returns Mu
```

This method takes all Doc::Type objects in `%.types` and sort them
by its name. After that, recursively, add all roles and supers in the
object to `@!sorted`
