Extension summary
PlantUML
Renders UML diagram as defined in a text file. For full syntax of the text file, see: http://plantuml.sourceforge.net/index.html
- Install the extension from Chrome Web Store.
- Open text file from web server with UML diagram definition in browser (the text starts with @startuml).
- See the rendered UML diagram!
Chrome does not allow fetching content from local files anymore, so you have to start a local web server that will serve the local text file. One simple way if you have Python 3 is to run python -m http.server
command in the directory with your PlantUML files.
Features
- Automatically updates the diagram when the file at given URL is changed.
- You can use your own server by changing the server URL in the popup of the action button (action button is displayed while viewing PlantUML files).
User reviews
Pros
- Very useful. I like that it refreshes when I save updates to the file in my text editor.
- It is very cool, but there is a problem that the viewer will return to text for a seconds.
Cons
- Doesn't work at all, often shows a broken image icon for UML files.
- The diagram viewer recently stopped working on multiple machines.
- Security concerns about user data being sent to an external server without permission.
- The viewer does not support mindmap diagrams or the newpage command.
- SVG formats need to be displayed in object tags for links to be clickable.
Most mentioned
