In plain words

DiagramJS is a JavaScript library for creating node diagrams. It enables developers to build visual diagram systems with code, handling the technical complexity of layout and rendering. The tool is particularly useful for anyone building applications that need to display connected data, relationships, or workflows. Being open-source on GitHub, it's freely available for developers who want to integrate diagram functionality into their projects without relying on proprietary solutions.

  • A gallery of graphs built with React and D3.js2023 · react-graph-gallery.com · ▲297

    Many JS libraries exist to build graphs on the web (Vega, chartJS, Plotly...). They allow to make charts quickly. But you lose flexibility: you're limited by the options they offer. I just created a gallery with hundreds of graphs made with d3.js and React. - Examples are split by graph types - They all come with explanation and code sandboxes - Gradual complexity to ease the learning curve It took me ages to create this project! Feedback welcome!

  • Diagram as code tool with draggable customizationsOct 2025 · github.com · ▲266

    In the past I've used declarative diagram generation tools like Mermaid.js a lot for quickly drawing up things but for presentations or deliverables I find that I have to then move the generated diagrams over to a tool like Lucidchart which allows full control of the organization and customization. Therefore I am now working on this to combine the benefits of both into just one tool which can do both functions. The project is certainly in the early stages but if you find yourself making architecture diagrams I'd love to hear your thoughts on the idea or even a Github issue for a feature…
