Is it possible to integrate class diagrams using http:https://www.nomnoml.com?

[schatekar]

Similar to current sequence diagram and flowchart support, nomnoml lets you write class diagram using text and converts it into a nice looking actual class diagram. Would it be possible to add support for the same?

In theory yes, but they don't seem to provide a proper API. Maybe @skanaar can help?

[skanaar]

nomnoml is purely client side so there is no web API to connect to.
The library components are not documented, but is pretty much "source code in"/"canvas graphics out".

Pretty similar to http:https://bramp.github.io/js-sequence-diagrams/.

@skanaar 2 questions for you:

• any plan for a standalone library?
• any plan for svg output? (it would work better with HTML/PDF output I guess..)

thx.

[skanaar]

There are two forks of nomnoml that has (appears to at least - I haven't tested them) switched from canvas to SVG. Neither is actively maintained but it should be a simple switch. But for nomnoml.com there is little reason for this.

Generally efforts will focus on usability and capabilities of www.nomnoml.com rather than it's usefulness as a library. But not excluding anything

I've been working on nomnoml to make it into a portable library. This work was recently completed which enables me to integrate it into StackEdit pretty nicely.

Here is a teaser:

This is still of interest I hope, at least it is to me since I'm a big fan of both StackEdit and nomnoml.
