Welcome to the StateSmith-drawio-plugin wiki!
You can use the StateSmith plugin with the draw.io offline application or with a vscode extension.
Both are supported although a number of new users are reporting problems with the vscode extension (not made by us).
Pros:
- Supports multiple monitors. Diagram on one monitor, code on another (if you want).
- More stable than vscode draw.io extension. Receives bug fixes much faster.
- Double click a
.drawio
file to launch the draw.io offline app.
Cons:
- Takes 2 minutes to download and install our plugin. Only needs to be done once.
- Requires 3 clicks to run our plugin every time the draw.io offline app is launched.
Not recommended for beginners. Start with the stable official draw.io program.
Pros:
- Loads within vscode which can be really nice.
- Can be setup to automatically load our StateSmith plugin (if you want).
Cons:
- Rarely updated and has numerous bugs.
- Do NOT use
.drawio.svg
with this extension. - More likely to run into issues.
That's cool too. See this page.
