Joplin-excalidraw v2

Excalidraw support in Joplin for Desktop.

How to?

Click the Excalidraw button on the toolbar to generate a new diagram:

![excalidraw.svg](excalidraw://970d7f3995b94321827cdcb8b9e16dc0.svg)

Click the edit button on the preview pane to edit an existing diagram.

Two separate resources will be saved for each diagram:

  • the JSON definition
  • the SVG for visualization in the preview pane

Example

Development

See GENERATOR_DOC.md for the code generation instructions.

Quick steps:

  • use yarn install --mode=update-peer-deps to download locally the necessary dependencies
  • use npm run dist to create a release package (it will be found under publish/ directory)

In Joplin you can use the dist/ directory directly by setting it under Tools -> Options -> Plugins -> Show advanced settings.

Notes & credits

[!CAUTION] Not compatible with the Freehand Drawing plugin, it causes glitches when both are enabled.
