# Mikado Graph

Python tool to draw graphs for Mikado refactoring.

- Learn what is the [Mikado method](https://pragprog.com/magazines/2010-06/the-mikado-method)
- Learn how to [leverage Mikado graphs in your refactoring tasks](https://www.syrianspock.com/software/2018/07/08/mikado-refactoring/)
- Python package [hosted on pypi](https://pypi.org/project/mikado-graph/)

## Quickstart

Start by saving this description file as as `example.txt`
```
_ Extend X with Y
    x Remove flag Z from X
        x Replace D with E
            x Check C
    # Ignore this line
    _ Add field X in Y
        x Do fix A
        _ Add B
        x Check C
```
Then run
```bash
pip install mikado-graph
mikado example.txt --view
```
A new window should display the graph below

Explore the options using `--help`
```bash
mikado --help
```
And learn more about the description file format below.

## Graph description symbols

Parent/child dependency is encoded by indentation.

There are three kinds of nodes in the graph
- Comments are prefixed by one of the following symbol: `//`, `#`
- Done tasks (drawn in green) are prefixed by one of the following symbols: `v`, `V`, `x`, `X`
- Pending tasks (drawn in red) are prefixed by any symbol that is not used by the above two choices.
  We recommend using `_` to keep the description file human readable

## Dev & Deploy

Deploy by running
```bash
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
twine upload dist/*
```

## Known issues

- `graphviz` will always save a temporary file when asked to render the graph.
