I agree to follow the Code of Conduct that this project adheres to.
I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.
I have searched using the terms "programatically generate diagrams from text", "command line diagrams from text", etc
Describe the solution you'd like
Programatically generate diagrams from text
Using command line options (or some kind of API) as headless options without GUI
when the input is purely text like plantuml or mermaird
the output is a draw.io XML or .svg
Describe alternatives you've considered
I know https://www.drawio.com/blog/plantuml allows plantuml and other text inputs but they require GUI
I know drawio-desktop https://tomd.xyz/how-i-use-drawio/ allows command line but doesn't seem to allow generate diagrams from text. Most command line seems to be mostly take an existing diagram and output into different formats such as .png
I was wondering if there's a way to do this on self-hosted?
My alternative (which I have not actually tried) is to self host the drawio docker at https://hub.docker.com/r/jgraph/drawio and have a middle ware using RPA code and interact with the GUI to insert the text and subsequently output the diagram as XML or SVG
