Warning I'm sad to say I can't find the time to maintain this plug-in. As such, issues will not be read. I may merge pull requests from time to time. If you think you can maintain this plugin please contact me.
A plugin for Obsidian for inserting and editing diagrams.net (previously draw.io) diagrams. It differs from the drawio-obsidian plugin in that it embeds the diagrams.net online editor, which requires an active internet connection, but enables the full feature set and all the shape libraries.
As Obsidian itself has an API that is under development, so is this plugin. There are some things you should be aware of if you are using it:
- Diagrams are saved as a separate file –
MyDiagram.svg.xml, alongside their image representation –MyDiagram.svg. (The .xml-file can be opened directly in any diagrams.net-editor.)- Moving and renaming a diagram inside Obsidian will do so for both the diagram file and the image file. However, since there is no "copy" event to listen to in the Obsidian API, copying a diagram means the new diagram will not have a diagram file associated with it, and as such, cannot be opened in the editor.
- The workaround, if you need to copy a diagram, is to manually duplicate and rename both the image and diagram file.
- Editing a diagram will not update the image in the active editor, you need to force a reload or navigate away and back to see the updates.
