solidity-mermaid v0.1.2

A Solidity AST parser that allows to convert smart contracts into Github's Mermaid.js language for diagramming.

Solidity is an object-oriented, high-level language for implementing smart contracts on top of the Ethereum Virtual Machine, while Mermaid is a Javascript library for diagramming that includes support for Class Diagrams.

This package aims to be a tool to produce Mermaid definitions from Solidity code, which can be useful for high-level representations, usefulf for audits and security assesment or just putting them on your generated docs. See solidity-docgen.

Take for example the following Solidity code:

// contracts/GameItem.sol
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC721/extensions/ERC721URIStorage.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/utils/Counters.sol";

contract GameItem is ERC721URIStorage {
    using Counters for Counters.Counter;
    Counters.Counter private _tokenIds;

    constructor() ERC721("GameItem", "ITM") {}

    function awardItem(address player, string memory tokenURI)
        public
        returns (uint256)
    {
        uint256 newItemId = _tokenIds.current();
        _mint(player, newItemId);
        _setTokenURI(newItemId, tokenURI);

        _tokenIds.increment();
        return newItemId;
    }
}

It will output the following representation:

    <<Contract>>
    +constructor()
    +awardItem(address player, string memory tokenURI): (uint256)

Getting started

npm install solidity-mermaid

Getting a Solc Output

In order to get a Solc output, you can use a compilation artifact from your common development enviroment (such as Hardhat or Foundry)

If not, you can always get the output from scratch using solc-js:

import solc from "solc";

const input = {
  language: "Solidity",
  sources: {
    "path/to/your/file.sol": {
      content: `
        // SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT

        ...

        contract Example is ... {
          ...
        }
      `,
    },
  },
  settings: {
    outputSelection: {
      "*": {
        "*": ["*"],
        "": ["ast"],
      },
    },
  },
};

const output = JSON.parse(solc.compile(JSON.stringify(input)));

Solidity AST to Class Diagram

To get a class diagram from your output, you'll need to pass the output, and an AST node with its type and id:

const classDiagram = new Class(output, "ContractDefinition", typeDef.id);

// First run you'll need to use `processed` so the AST gets converted into text
console.log(classDiagram.processed);

// Afterwards, if no changes were made to the AST, you can just print its text
console.log(classDiagram.text);

You can also use it with solidity-ast/utils

import { Class } from "solidity-mermaid";
import { findAll } from "solidity-ast/utils";

for (const [, { ast }] of Object.entries(output.sources)) {
  for (const typeDef of findAll(["ContractDefinition"], ast)) {
    const classDiagram = new Class(output, "ContractDefinition", typeDef.id);
  
    // ...
  }
}

Solidity Versioning

The Solidity AST should've been produce with a version that's supported in OpenZeppelin's solidity-ast package.
