## About the Project
This plugin automates the generation of PlantUML image files when using `mkdocs serve`.
The motivation behind this plugin is to provide a solution for users who prefer not to use inline diagrams and have encountered challenges with non-functional !includes.
**Note**: If you want inline diagrams in your Markdown files
````markdown
```plantuml
Alice -> Bob
```
````
this plugin does _not_ meet your requirements. Please check out [plantuml-markdown](https://github.com/mikitex70/plantuml-markdown) which does exactly that.
## Prerequisites
You need to have installed:
- Python3
- [MkDocs](https://www.mkdocs.org)
- Java for Plantuml (If running locally)
- [Plantuml](https://plantuml.com) (if running locally)
- This plugin (needs httplib2 for server rendering)
On macOS you can install plantuml with homebrew which puts a plantuml executable in `/usr/local/bin/plantuml`.
## Installation
```shell
pip3 install mkdocs-build-plantuml-plugin
```
## Usage
### Plugin Settings
In `mkdocs.yml` add this plugin section (depicted are the default values):
```yaml
plugins:
- search
- build_plantuml:
render: 'server' # or "local" for local rendering
bin_path: '/usr/local/bin/plantuml' # ignored when render: server
server: 'http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml' # official plantuml server
disable_ssl_certificate_validation: true # for self-signed and invalid certs
output_format: 'svg' # or "png"
allow_multiple_roots: false # in case your codebase contains more locations for diagrams (all ending in diagram_root)
diagram_root: 'docs/diagrams' # should reside under docs_dir
output_folder: 'out'
input_folder: 'src'
input_extensions: '' # comma separated list of extensions to parse, by default every file is parsed
```
It is recommended to use the `server` option, which is much faster than `local`.
### Example folder structure
This would result in this directory layout:
```python
docs/ # the default MkDocs docs_dir directory
diagrams/
include/ # for include files like theme.puml etc (optional, won't be generated)
out/ # the generated images, which can be included in your md files
subdir1/file1.svg # you can organise your diagrams in subfolders, see below
file.svg
src/ # the Plantuml sources
subdir1/file1.puml
subdir2/
file.puml
mkdocs.yml # mkdocs configuration file
```
When starting with `mkdocs serve`, it will create all diagrams initially.
Afterwards, it checks if the `*.puml` (or other ending) file has a newer timestamp than the corresponding file in out. If so, it will generate a new image (works also with includes). This way, it won‘t take long until the site reloads and does not get into a loop.
### Including generated images
Inside your `index.md` or any other Markdown file you can then reference any created image as usual:
```markdown
# My MkDocs Document
## Example Plantuml Images
```
## Dark Mode Support
Since Version 1.4 this plugin can support dark mode when rendering with `server` (prefers-color-scheme).
**Note**: Not in local mode, only server rendering mode
1. Grab a general (ie. for [Material Theme](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/)) dark mode support css file (i.e. from [henrywhitaker3/mkdocs-material-dark-theme](https://github.com/henrywhitaker3/mkdocs-material-dark-theme)) for your theme
1. Enable theme support in this plugin:
- build_plantuml:
[...]
theme_enabled: true
theme_folder: "include/themes"
theme_light: "light.puml"
theme_dark: "dark.puml"
1. You have to provide two puml theme files, ie mydarkmode.puml and mylightmode.puml
1. In the out directory a `<file>.<ext>` will be created and additionally a `<file>_dark.<ext>`
1. Insert your images in markdown with `` (this selector is then used in the [JS file](example/docs/javascript/images_dark.js) to know which images have to be exchanged)
1. provide [`extra_javascript`](./example/docs/javascript/images_dark.js) file which handles the switch
You can find an example in the [example folder](./example/)
### Example Output
## Known restrictions
- If you use `!include` and the `render: "server"` option, this plugin merges those files manually. If there are any issues or side effects because of that, please open a ticket.
- Dark mode / theme support is currently only available in server rendering mode.
