Software architecture

The software is built to be dynamically reflective. The base class Object has members called Member. They can be added, modified (data and type) or removed at runtime. A Member wraps a Variant class that can handle basic data types such as Booleans (bool), Numbers (double) or Strings (std::string).

Two Members can be linked by a Wire. A Wire is an oriented edge, so it has a source and a target Value.

The Object derived class Entity is able to attach Component on it. Component is the base class for all components. For now there are only few components :

  • View : to draw the entity on screen (derived: NodeView, WireView, ApplicationView…)
  • Operation : to perform a computation (derived: BinaryOperation, BinaryOperationAdd, …Substract, …Multiply, … Divide)
  • Container : to contain other entities.
  • DataAccess: to load/save and entity to a JSON file.

Variable class is an Entity with a single Member named « value ».

Lexer class is an Entity able to convert an expression to a graph.

Application is a class to rule them all !

This diagram may not reflect the current state of the software because it is evolving continiously.
I update the diagram less frequently.
