PlantUML with Alpine.js

Integration guide for teams shipping diagram rendering in Alpine.js.

PlantUML usage guidance

Best for

  • UML modeling
  • Class and sequence diagrams
  • Architecture documentation

Syntax tip

Use explicit participant aliases and avoid deeply nested groups for better readability.

Quick start

Call the ChartQuery API from your Alpine.js stack and return rendered PlantUML output to the UI.

Recommended flow

  1. Store your PlantUML source in code or markdown.
  2. Send source to a server-side endpoint backed by ChartQuery.
  3. Render returned SVG/PNG in Alpine.js pages and docs.

Typical Alpine.js integration path: /server/diagram-renderer
