Feature request: Diagram that mesh the bounded contexts and domains

Open joaoasrosa opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Although is not in the original Context Map from Eric Evans, there are use cases where it is useful to draw the bounded context inside of the domain/subdomain. It will be interesting to have a variation of the current context map diagram.

Given the information is already available in the cml file, it could be a good enhancement.

Hi @joaoasrosa

Thanks for reporting this! Good idea, although maybe not that easy (graphical layouting), since a Bounded Context an implement parts (not necessarily the whole) of multiple subdomains. Vaughn Vernon has a few good illustrations in his IDDD book... I have to look into this again and see if there is a solution we can implement with the current Graphviz-based Context Map generator.
