!procedure ($list)

Question

can I send a list of items to a !procedure

Answer 1

Hello E.,

Yes, you can, using JSON variable, as:

!$list={
    "elements": ["A", "B", "C", "D", "..."]
}
$procedure($list.elements)

See another example here:

• https://forum.plantuml.net/8880/macro-for-processing-collections
• https://forum.plantuml.net/12409/array-data-structure-support-and-being-able-index-elements

And the doc. about JSON Processing here:

• https://plantuml.com/preprocessing-json

If that can help,
Regards,
Th.
