Customize colors

[raphael-leger]

Hi,

Currently the colors of the diagram are hardcoded, for instance:

typeorm-uml/src/builder/uml-builder.class.ts

Lines 43 to 45 in 6bab2db

	uml += '!define pkey(x) <b><color:DarkGoldenRod><&key></color> x</b>\n';
	uml += '!define fkey(x) <color:#AAAAAA><&key></color> x\n';
	uml += '!define column(x) <color:#EFEFEF><&media-record></color> x\n';

It would be nice to have a set of flags enabling their customization such as:

--primary-key-color #aaaaaa 
--foreign-key-color #aaaaaa
--column-color #aaaaaa
--entity-background-color #aaaaaa
--entity-border-color #aaaaaa
--arrow-color #aaaaaa

Hi @raphael-leger!

Thanks, for the suggestion. I have implemented it and published as the @next version for now (use npm i -D typeorm-uml@next to install it). Could you please check it on your end and let me know if it is what you need?

You should be able to define colors using --color <key>=<value> flags where <key> can be pkey, fkey, column, class.BackgroundColor, class.BorderColor and class.ArrowColor. For example:

typeorm-uml path/to/ormconfig.json --color pkey=#00ff00 --color fkey=#00aa00 --color column=#007700

Thanks for the quick implementation, it appears to be working well 👍

Awesome! Closing this ticket then. This will be shipped with the next release. For now, it can be installed using @next tag.
