Structurizr for .NET
A C# implementation of the Structurizr for Java client library
The initial version of Structurizr was targeted at the Java ecosystem (see "Structurizr for Java"), for no other reason than it's what I'm most familiar with. Although this works for a good portion of the organisations that I visit when doing training/consulting, an equally sized portion use the Microsoft stack. For this reason, I've put together Structurizr for .NET, which is more or less a direct port of the Java version, with some automatically generated code from Swagger used as a starting point. It's by no means "feature complete" yet, especially since none of the component finder code (the part that extracts components automatically from a codebase) is present, but there's enough to create some basic diagrams. Here's some example code that creates a software model for the "Financial Risk System" case study that I use in my workshops.
It creates the following Context, Container and Component diagrams.
If you want to take a look or try it out, the source code can be found on GitHub and there's an initial version of the package on NuGet. Have fun!
