Views

An ArchiView is an Archi diagram/view definition (an archimate:ArchimateDiagramModel): the container that binds visual objects together.

Native attributes

interface ArchiView {
  viewpoint: string | null;             // e.g. "layered", "organization"
  connectionRouterType: number | null;  // 0 = manual bendpoints, 2 = orthogonal
}

• viewpoint is Archi’s internal lowercase code — not a human-readable name. null when unset (Archi’s own default is an empty string, meaning “no viewpoint restriction”).
• connectionRouterType is preserved as the raw native number rather than decoded to a named enum: its meaning is Archi-UI-specific and the numbering has already changed once in Archi’s source (a 1 value was reserved and dropped). null when absent (Archi’s default is 0).

Precomputed containment indexes

The native XML expresses containment only through nesting. parseArchiModel does one extra O(n) derivation pass so every view already has its children’s ids precomputed, in source order — no tree-walking required on the caller’s side:

interface ArchiView {
  diagramObjectIds: string[];     // direct-child diagram objects (not nested)
  diagramConnectionIds: string[]; // every connection anywhere in the view, any nesting depth
  noteIds: string[];              // direct-child notes (not nested)
}

Example

const view = model.views.find((v) => v.name === 'Application Overview');
if (!view) return;

for (const id of view.diagramObjectIds) {
  const object = model.diagramObjects.find((o) => o.id === id);
  console.log(object?.name, object?.xsiType);
}

For repeated lookups, build an id index once instead of using find in a loop — see Build lookup indexes.
