xinatcg / diagrams.net-intellij-plugin

An IntelliJ plugin which allows you to edit diagrams.net (formerly known as draw.io) diagrams directly in IntelliJ!

Diagrams.net Integration for IntelliJ

This unofficial extension integrates diagrams.net (formerly known as draw.io) directly into IntelliJ and other JetBrains IDEs based on it like PyCharm, RubyMine and WebStorm. It supports diagram files with the extensions .drawio.(svg|png|xml) and .dio.(svg|png|xml). It also auto-detects editable PNGs and SVGs created with diagrams.net.

The editor uses an offline version of diagrams.net by default, therefore it works without an internet connection and content stays local in your IDE.
