Config

Config API

Assume you are using the UMD bundle in the browser, here is an easy example of setting default renderer to CanvasRenderer by using setConfig method.

pintora.default.setConfig({
  core: {
    defalutRenderer: 'canvas',
    defaultFontFamily: 'Menlo',
  },
  sequence: {
    messageFontSize: 16,
  },
})

Or get current config by getConfig:

pintora.default.getConfig()

Apply config to just one render

When using @pintora/standalone in the browser, you can apply config to just one render. This will not change the globalConfig.

pintora.default.renderTo(code, {
  container,
  config: {
    themeConfig: {
      theme: 'dark',
    }
  }
})

Available configs

export type PintoraConfig = {
  core: {
    /** by default it's 'svg' */
    defaultRenderer: string
    defaultFontFamily: string
    useMaxWidth: boolean
  }
  themeConfig: {
    theme: string
    darkTheme?: string
    themeVariables: ITheme
  }
  activity: ActivityConf
  component: ComponentConf
  er: ErConf
  sequence: SequenceConf
}

Config for diagrams

Common Configs

There are some common diagram config keys those - if they appears in the *Conf below - share common meaning and possible values.

name	value type	description
layoutDirection	'TB' or 'LR'	A config for dagre-layout, stands for (top-bottom) or (left-right)
diagramPadding	number	Padding of the diagram, distance from visual content to the border
useMaxWidth	boolean	Whether the diagram should be resized to fit container width
edgeType	EdgeType	Edge splines type

EdgeType

• polyline, this is the default value
• ortho, stands for orthogonal, edges are axis-aligned and bendings are right-angled
• curved, similar to 'polyline' control points, but draws curved line instead of straight one

Override config by directive

If you don't have the access to add JS script into the page or in the Node.js module, it's also possible to override some configs of the builtin diagrams through the @param or @config directive.

信息

This is the recommended way to override configs inside the text DSL for all pintora's builtin diagrams. But it may be slightly different or not implemented at all in some third-party diagrams, due to syntax confilict or other diagram-parser implementation details.

The @param directive

This directive overrides local config in current diagram.

Syntax:

@param prop value

%% --- or ---

@param {
  prop value
}

For example:

sequenceDiagram
  @param loopLineColor #79caf1
  @param actorBackground #61afef
  @param actorTextColor #ffffff
  @param {
    messageFontFamily Consolas
    dividerTextColor #61afef
  }
  User->>Pintora: render this
  activate Pintora
  loop Check input
    Pintora-->>Pintora: Has input changed?
  end

The @config directive

Unlike the @param directive, this directive:

1. Overrides global config in this render.
2. Config needs to be valid JSON string.

Syntax:

@config(...configJSON)

For example:

mindmap
@config({
  "core": {
    "defaultFontFamily": "serif",
    "useMaxWidth": true
  },
  "themeConfig": {
    "theme": "larkDark"
  },
  "mindmap": {
    "layoutDirection":   "TB",
      "l1NodeBgColor":   "#2B7A5D",
      "l1NodeTextColor": "#fff",
      "l2NodeBgColor":   "#26946C",
      "l2NodeTextColor": "#fff",
      "nodeBgColor":     "#67B599",
      "textColor":       "#fff"
  }
})
