BPMN with Hugo

Integration guide for teams shipping diagram rendering in Hugo.

BPMN usage guidance

Best for

  • General diagram rendering
  • Programmatic documentation pipelines
  • Automated visual generation

Syntax tip

Keep BPMN source deterministic and reusable across environments.

Quick start

Use a Hugo shortcode with resources.GetRemote to render BPMN diagrams at build time.

Recommended flow

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

Typical Hugo integration path: /layouts/shortcodes/diagram.html
