Farkitect
🤷

Forgive us! These docs are a work in progress. Some pages may be incomplete or describe features that aren't quite finished yet. Farkitect is in early development and we don't recommend using it for real work just yet. Feel free to explore — just be aware that things are still being built.

How to use the integrity checker

The integrity checker validates referential integrity across your model — detecting broken references, orphaned elements, and constraint violations.

Check the status indicator

Section titled “Check the status indicator”

The status bar (bottom of the workspace) shows an integrity indicator:

  • Green — no issues detected
  • Yellow/Red — issues found; click for details

Run an on-demand check

Section titled “Run an on-demand check”

Click the integrity indicator in the status bar to trigger a full check. The results show:

  • Broken references (elements pointing to deleted targets)
  • Orphaned diagram nodes (nodes referencing elements that no longer exist)
  • Constraint violations (relationships connecting invalid source/target types based on M2 constraints)
  • Property type mismatches

Reactive vs on-demand checks

Section titled “Reactive vs on-demand checks”

The status bar indicator updates reactively as you work, so you’ll usually notice an issue the moment it’s introduced. Clicking the indicator runs a full on-demand check and lists every issue it finds — useful after a large import or before an export.

Resolve issues

Section titled “Resolve issues”

Each issue in the results identifies the affected element and the nature of the problem. Common fixes:

  • Broken reference — delete the orphaned element or relationship, or recreate the missing target
  • Constraint violation — delete the invalid relationship, or update the M2 constraints to allow the combination
  • Orphaned diagram node — remove the node from the diagram
