First Code Map Best Practices
Everyone wants to see your whole codebase visualized. Now you need to go from an All Map to a focused map.
Tip 1: One Topic, One Map
We recommend one topic per code map. Need some inspiration on example topics? Check out our Demos page
So once you've selected a topic, let's choose an onboarding map, you can start making your focused map.
Tip 2: Remove everything that isn't in focus.
There are a number of ways to drill down quickly.
Tip 3: Labels, notes, colors
Start adding Labels and Colorsto your map to explain your onboarding concepts. As your code changes, these labels and colors will persist as the code is updated
Tip 4: Share your map with others
You can click the share button at the top right corner or you can click the download a image button and drop it in documentation, slack or anywhere.
Tip 5: Duplicate
Finally when you are ready to add another concept, just duplicate your map and change the labels and colors.
