Quick start

Use a composable to call your API route and bind GraphViz output in Vue components.

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 Vue pages and docs.

Typical Vue integration path: /server/diagram-renderer
