Defaults

The DSL is designed to be as compact as possible. When used in conjunction with Structurizr Lite or the Structurizr CLI, the following DSL fragment will automatically:

  • Create the implied relationship between the user and softwareSystem elements.
  • Create a default set of views (1 x System Landscape, 1 x System Context, 1 x Container - all with auto-layout enabled, see ViewSet.createDefaultViews()).
  • Add some default element styles from a theme.
workspace {

    model {
        user = person "User"
        softwareSystem = softwareSystem "Software System" {
            webapp = container "Web Application"
            database = container "Database"
         }

        user -> webapp "Uses"
        webapp -> database "Reads from and writes to"
    }
    
    views {
    	theme default
    }

}
