Kroki.jl

Actions Status Codecov Coveralls [Semantic Release] ColPrac: Contributor's Guide on Collaborative Practices for Community Packages

Enables a wide array of textual diagramming tools, such as Graphviz, Mermaid, PlantUML, svgbob and many more within Julia through the Kroki service. It works in environments capable of rendering images:

and even in the REPL for a subset of the supported diagrams:

Usage

Install Kroki through Julia's package manager

(v1.10) pkg> add Kroki

Construct diagrams using the Diagram type or any of the available string literals. Then either rely on the available Base.show overloads, or call the render function with a specific output format, to visualize them.

Note: ASCII art diagrams, as shown above, are only supported for a subset of PlantUML diagrams. All other diagram types are better supported in environments like Documenter.jl, Pluto.jl or Jupyter.
