drawio-desktop is a draw.io desktop app based on Electron
draw.io is a git submodule of drawio-desktop. To get both you need to clone recursively:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop.git
To run this:
- npm install (in the root directory of this repo)
- npm install (in the drawio directory of this repo)
- export NODE_ENV=development if you want to develop/debug in dev mode.
- If you run in dev mode, clone https://github.com/jgraph/mxgraph as a sibling directory to this repo, rename the folder containing the repo "mxgraph2".
- If you want to load a hosted version of draw.io into a browser window, while in dev mode, you must serve that version via https, since Electron 5. At https://github.com/jgraph/drawio/blob/e942b08a3bc2203c98659756b3338d9e0d57085b/src/main/webapp/electron.js#L39 change "test.draw.io" to the site where you host it. If you need an easy way to serve a locally hosted draw.io via https, try ngrok.
- If you want to bundle the draw.io version within the app and not load a hosted version, remove the load at https://github.com/jgraph/drawio/blob/e942b08a3bc2203c98659756b3338d9e0d57085b/src/main/webapp/electron.js#L57 and replace it with the URL load up to and including https://github.com/jgraph/drawio/blob/e942b08a3bc2203c98659756b3338d9e0d57085b/src/main/webapp/electron.js#L57.
- npm start runs the app.
To release:
- Update the draw.io sub-module and push the change
- Wait for the builds to complete (https://travis-ci.org/jgraph/drawio-desktop and https://ci.appveyor.com/project/davidjgraph/drawio-desktop)
- Go to https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases, edit the preview release and publish it.
draw-io desktop uses draw-io. draw.io uses the mxGraph library as the base of the stack, with the GraphEditor example from mxGraph as the base of the application part.
