jgraph/drawio-diagrams

To use a diagram from this repository as a starting template rather than just opening it, you can use the create parameter in the diagrams.net URL instead of the url parameter.

Method 1: URL Parameter

Replace the url parameter in the diagrams.net URL with create. For example, to use schema.xml as a template:

https://app.diagrams.net/?create=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Fjgraph%2Fdrawio-diagrams%2Fdev%2Fdiagrams%2Fschema.xml

Method 2: Create Dialog

1. Open diagrams.net.
2. Use the create dialog.
3. Click "From Template URL".
4. Enter the raw URL of the diagram (e.g., https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jgraph/drawio-diagrams/dev/diagrams/schema.xml).

You can open specific diagrams from this repository directly in diagrams.net by using the File > Open from > URL menu. Enter a URL pointing to a raw file in the repository, such as:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jgraph/drawio-diagrams/dev/diagrams/schema.xml

Available diagram examples include:

• Bulb: Flowchart Example
• I18n: Internationalized Fonts
• Link: Link to use as Template
• SVG File: Using .svg Extension
• SVG Image: Using .svg Image
• Schema: Entity Relationship Diagram
• Sequence: Sequence Diagram
• Tooltips: Diagram with Tooltips (requires Tooltips Plugin)

To construct a URL that opens a specific file from this repository in diagrams.net, follow these steps:

1. Identify the file in the repository: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jgraph/drawio-diagrams/dev/diagrams/%filename%.
2. Replace %filename% with your desired file name.
3. URL-encode the resulting file URL.
4. Append the encoded URL to https://app.diagrams.net/#U.

Example for schema.xml:

1. Base: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jgraph/drawio-diagrams/dev/diagrams/schema.xml
2. Encoded: https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Fjgraph%2Fdrawio-diagrams%2Fdev%2Fdiagrams%2Fschema.xml
3. Final: https://app.diagrams.net/#Uhttps%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Fjgraph%2Fdrawio-diagrams%2Fdev%2Fdiagrams%2Fschema.xml
