GraphViz with Angular

Integration guide for teams shipping diagram rendering in Angular.

GraphViz usage guidance

Best for

  • Dependency graphs
  • Directed acyclic graphs
  • Infrastructure relationships

Syntax tip

Declare rank direction early and keep node identifiers stable for diff-friendly updates.

Quick start

Use Angular HttpClient to request rendered GraphViz images from a backend API route.

Recommended flow

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

Typical Angular integration path: /src/app/services/diagram.service.ts

Angular implementation checklist

  • Proxy through backend API
  • Keep rendering off browser runtime
  • Use HttpClient service for predictable calls

GraphViz source example

digraph G {
rankdir=LR;
app -> api;
api -> db;
}
