IPyDrawio Export

PDF export of drawio diagrams for JupyterLab.

See the main project repo for more information.

Installation

Note: the mamba/conda installation method ensures nodejs is available

mamba install -c conda-forge ipydrawio-export  # recommended, or...
conda install -c conda-forge ipydrawio-export  # or...
pip install ipydrawio-export

Server Extension

ipydrawio-export runs as a server extension. When installed, it should be automatically configured. If problems arise, it can be manually enabled:

jupyter server extension list   # If you don't see it here...
jupyter server extension enable --sys-prefix --py ipydrawio_export  # run this...
jupyter server extension list   # ... then check it again

Note: If you are starting your server with jupyter notebook (not jupyter lab), the commands above will be serverextension instead of server extension!

Command-Line Usage

Exporting PDF

PDF can also be generated from the command line:

jupyter drawio-export pdf some_file.dio

If needed, the nodejs application will be installed into the Jupyter data path.

jupyter config --paths  # it uses the one in the environment

In the future, it's hoped this can be packaged more conveniently.

Provisioning

To ensure the nodejs application is installed without exporting a PDF (e.g when building a docker container).

jupyter ipydrawio-export provision

Provision locations

If defined, these environment variables will be respected, and an ipydrawio_export folder will be created within:

• $JUPYTER_DATA_DIR
• $IPYDRAWIO_DATA_DIR

Otherwise, ipydrawio-export will provision its files into {sys.prefix}/share/jupyter/ipydrawio_export.

Of note:

• access to the internet is required
• this location must be writeable by the user
• there must be about 400MiB available, primarily for puppeteer's chromium

The effective location can be verified with:

jupyter ipydrawio-export provision --workdir
