Map the structure of a messaging system from the ground up. This template lays out core entities — conversations, messages, users/contacts, channels, attachments, and notifications — plus how they relate. It’s a solid starting point for API design, data modeling, and implementation planning.

How to create a UML Class Messaging System

To create a UML class messaging system, follow these steps:

01.
Identify Your Classes
Define the main objects in your system that encapsulate data and behavior (e.g., MessagingSystem, User, Message, Conversation).
02.
List attributes
For each class, specify the properties it holds, including data types (String, UUID, List, DateTime, etc.).
03.
Define methods
Identify the functions each class can perform, including parameters and return types (e.g., sendMessage(), addContact()).
04.
Create class boxes
Draw rectangles divided into three sections — class name at top, attributes in middle, methods at bottom.
05.
Map relationships
Determine how classes connect — does MessagingSystem manage ConversationThreads? Does Message have Attachments?
06.
Add relationship lines
Draw lines between classes with appropriate notation (arrows for dependencies, diamonds for composition, numbers for cardinality).
07.
Specify cardinality
Show whether relationships are one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many using notation like 1..*, 0..1.
08.
Review & share
Share the diagram for development planning, code reviews, API documentation, or architectural decision records.
