Generate all PlantUML diagrams

Problem

You have many C4 PlantUML diagrams in nested folders that you would like to render without having to run the PlantUML cli on each one.

Solution

• Ensure that your prerequisites are met
  1. Install PlantUML on Mac

find . -type f -iname "*.puml" -exec echo "Generating plantuml diagram for {}" \; -exec plantuml {} \;

• The output will look like the below
