Hi!
I've just found out the strength of jArchi and started to automate some of the work I do with my models.
However, I just can figure it out how to read the attribute or property on a diagram that shows the viewpoint. I've tried with both attributes and properties or "natural syntax" (.someAttribute) but can in no way understand how to access information about the viewpoint.
Can someone here help me?

Hi,
we haven't implemented setting and getting viewpoint names or info yet. Not sure how this would be achieved, if a viewpoint name is a standard thing as per the exchange format.

Then I have to re-think my design. =)
Thank you for your quick response.
It depends what is required for a "viewpoint".
Is it the internal Archi id name, such as "implementation_deployment"?
Is it the external English name, such as "Implementation and Deployment"?
Is it required to know the concept types that are permitted in the viewpoint?
Is it a JS object type that returns all of the above? For example:
id : "implementation_deployment"
name : "Implementation and Deployment"
concepts : <list of permitted concept names>
More...
Or should there be methods added to the jArchi Diagram object pertaining to its viewpoint such as:
var view = ...;
var isAllowed = view.isAllowedConcept(conceptName);

For my use case either id or name will do the work. Complete information will probably cover more use cases and the methods is imho an elegant solution.
Another jArchi-related question, I have experimented with multiple selectors in a find-statement e.g.
$('selector').find('fo, bar')
with no luck of finding a working syntax (based on different examples from jQuery). Do you have a thought of how to achieve a selection like that?
My use case is based on a selection of an archimate-diagram-model and then I want to find two or more concepts in that view.

Have you tried using the filter(predicate) function?
collection.filter(function(object) {return someBoolean})
For example:
var selected = $("element").filter(function(object) {
return object.name === "foo" || object.name === "bar";
});

You have to do it in two steps:
$('selector').find('fo').add($('selector').find('bar'))Regards,

Thank you!
I found that the filter function is best suited for my needs. But since filter works on the currently matched elements I first had to find everything (get e new set of matched elements) with
$(selector).find.().filter(function...
It's because my first selection is a diagram and not a collection of concepts or visuals. Since the expression
$(selector).find().add(...
will need a constant number of find selectors the filter seems a lot more flexible.
