#jArchi script to compare two views and show mutual missing Archimate elements

ShowMissingElementsInTwoViews.ajs

/*
 *  Comparison of two views to see which Archimate elements are missing
 *  2018, Ad Gerrits
 */
console.clear();

function checkViews (v1, v2) {
    var v2elements = [];
    $(v2).find('element').each(function (e) {
        v2elements.push(e.concept.id);
    })
    var lastconceptid = -1;
    console.log('Present in view "' + v1.name + '" but missing in view "' + v2.name + '":');
    $(v1).find('element').each(function (e) {
        if (e.concept.id !== lastconceptid) {
            if (v2elements.indexOf(e.concept.id) === -1) {
                console.log(e.name + '   (' + e.type + ')');
            }
            lastconceptid = e.concept.id;
        }
    })
}

if (selection.size() === 2 && ($(selection.get(0)).is('archimate-diagram-model') && $(selection.get(1)).is('archimate-diagram-model'))) {
    var v1 = selection.get(0);
    var v2 = selection.get(1);
    console.log('Compare views: "' + v1.name + '" and "' + v2.name + '"\n');
    checkViews(v1, v2);
    console.log('\n');
    checkViews(v2, v1);
} else {
    window.alert('Select 2 views to compare');
}

Good point !

So we have to create a collection of elements from a collection of visual objects:

var v1 = $("archimate-diagram-model.v1").first();
var v2 = $("archimate-diagram-model.v2").first();

getConcepts = function(c) {
    var out = $("empty");
    c.each(function(o) {
        out.add(o.concept);
    })
    return out;
}

var not_in_v1 = getConcepts($(v2).find('element')).not(getConcepts($(v1).find('element')));
var not_in_v2 = getConcepts($(v1).find('element')).not(getConcepts($(v2).find('element')));

console.log("Not in v1: ", not_in_v1);
console.log("Not in v2: ", not_in_v2);

Note that I used $("empty") to create an empty collection. This is a trick: $() operator will look for object of type "empty" but won't find one as this type does not exist. Thus it returns an empty collection.

In fact what we need is a map operator, but this is not implemented (yet) on collections (which are not JS arrays even if very similar).

A stupid question, though... How one can select two views in Archi tool? I have tried doing that in the Model Tree view, but it always selects all views between those I need. Any advice?

@vnevzorov: After the first selected view, press the Ctrl-key and select the second view. Just like when you want to select multiple elements in the model tree at other times.

Thank you! Much appreciated.
