drawio

Whenever a given .drawio file changes, we trigger an export to svg, so that your documentation updates.

drawio is a convenient vector graphics tools, with an electron based desktop client.

Example

LP Source (shortform):

 `lp:drawio addsrc fn=img/example.svg eval=always src=example.drawio`

Result:

Requirements

• A drawio executable must be available in your $PATH.
• Alternatively you may specify $drawio as in: $ drawio=/opt/drawio/bin/drawio mkdocs serve

Notes

• As you can see in the screencast the update is not particularly fast since the exporter has the start the app at every svg build.

• Linux Version:

  At time of writing the client (version 15.2.7) has a gtk problem due to electron incompatbility. This docs were based on the release 15.1.3, which was the last one without that problem.
  We expect a fix very soon.
