Hi

Can Kendo diagram support drawing from a plain text format - maybe markdown driven - like mermaid.js ?

or do you have any sample code that can adapt?

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

The Kendo Diagram component is using a different configuration syntax. You can pass a list of shapes and connections to it and it uses that to build the visualization. Furthermore, the Diagram component supports customizing the shapes by defining a template function. 

You can find more information on binding the Diagram to data and example on the setup of the component in the following resources.
