Can I programmatically create a draw.io diagram in Confluence page? Edited

[Martin_Doré]

Hi,

What I have for now : Confluence Cloud with the draw.io plugin.

What I try to achieve : I have a devops (CI/CD) pipeline that is working pretty well, but I want to document automatically the architecture of the application.

What I tried so far : I use the API rest of Confluence to create a new page and everything is working well. I also succeeded to create a CSV file that could be imported easily to create a diagram. I used a C# console application that I want to launch from my pipeline (this part is easy).

What is not working :

1. Creation of the draw.io macro (the html is so cryptic for this macro)...
2. Automation of the javascript sequence to use the CSV feature : Menu Arrange/Insert/Advanced/CSV... and the copy of the CSV in the textbox. I<m still thinking to use Selenium to automate the process. But I'm affraid that something will break in a future version...

Someone has an idea? Could I use an API or something else to achieve my goal?

Thank you!

The format for the draw.io macro is Atlassian defined, but I think it's fairly standard for all macros. There's an ID in the macro, but I would try generating it without that parameter. If you create a drawio macro, it should be possible to reverse engineer it from the storage format of that page.

The second part we don't currently have, you would need to vote for https://trello.com/c/utXS2QU1/80-add-import-from-csv-directly-from-macro
