Data Model for Auto-Documentation of Legacy Data Source

Dynamic HTML

1. HTML Structure

Design a basic HTML structure to display the data source, tables, and attributes. Use semantic HTML for better readability and accessibility.

htmlCopy code

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Data Source Documentation</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>Data Source Documentation</h1>

</div>

</body>

</html>

2. CSS Styling

Create a style.css file to style the HTML elements. This can include styles for the layout, typography, and interactive elements.

cssCopy code

body {

font-family: Arial, sans-serif;

}

#dataSourceContainer {

margin: 20px;

}

.table {

margin-top: 10px;

border-collapse: collapse;

}

.table th, .table td {

border: 1px solid #ddd;

padding: 8px;

}

.table th {

background-color: #f2f2f2;

}

3. JavaScript for Dynamic Content

Write a script.js file to handle the dynamic loading of data sources, tables, and attributes. This script will communicate with your backend to fetch the data.

javascriptCopy code

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {

loadDataSources();

});

function loadDataSources() {

// Example: Fetching data sources (You should replace this with actual data fetching logic)

let dataSources = [

{ id: 1, name: 'DataSource 1', description: 'Description 1' },

// ... other data sources

];

let dataSourceContainer = document.getElementById('dataSources');

dataSources.forEach(source => {

let div = document.createElement('div');

div.innerHTML = `<h2>${source.name}</h2><p>${source.description}</p>`;

dataSourceContainer.appendChild(div);

});

}

4. Backend Integration

Integrate the frontend with your backend. Your backend should provide APIs to fetch the data sources, tables, and attributes. You can use AJAX (XMLHttpRequest or fetch API) in JavaScript to call these APIs and update the HTML content dynamically.

5. Advanced Features (Optional)

Search and Filtering: Implement search and filtering options to easily navigate through large datasets.

Pagination: If you have many tables or attributes, consider adding pagination to improve load times and user experience.

Interactive Diagrams: Use a JavaScript library (like D3.js) to create interactive ER diagrams.
