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

Nomnoml usage guidance

Best for

  • General diagram rendering
  • Programmatic documentation pipelines

Syntax tip

Keep Nomnoml source deterministic and reusable across environments.

Quick start

Use a server route in Next.js to proxy Nomnoml source to ChartQuery, then render SVG in your page.

Recommended flow

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

Typical Next.js integration path: /app/api/diagram/route.ts
