New idea: jArchi-utils: helpers for working outside the Archi context

[5-tom]

Hey,

I'm interested in developing a utilities package for when I want to use jArchi in a pure JavaScript context. I've created 2 functions so far: isAllowedRelationship and findAllowedRelationships

https://www.npmjs.com/package/jarchi-utils

I'd love to know if jArchi users like the idea and what utilities would be helpful to them

Hi Tom,

thanks for sharing. I wonder if your "isAllowedRelationship" is already taken care of in jArchi itself - https://github.com/archimatetool/archi-scripting-plugin/wiki/Model-Functions#isallowedrelationship - or are you trying to achieve this without a dependency on jArchi?

Yeah, the function in the package should behave exactly like the jArchi version - it's just that it doesn't depend on Archi, so it can be used in any runtime. It's like a re-implementation of jArchi but without the tether to the program itself.
