Lucidchart — Document & Shape Creation
Overview
Primary workflow for Lucidchart integration.
Instructions
Step 1: Create a Document
const doc = await client.documents.create({
title: 'API Architecture Diagram',
product: 'lucidchart' // or 'lucidspark'
});
console.log(`Document: ${doc.documentId}`);
console.log(`Edit URL: ${doc.editUrl}`);
Step 2: Add Shapes via Standard Import
// Lucid Standard Import uses .lucid file format
const importData = {
pages: [{
id: 'page1',
title: 'Main',
shapes: [
{ id: 's1', type: 'rectangle', boundingBox: { x: 100, y: 100, w: 200, h: 80 },
text: 'API Gateway', style: { fill: '#4A90D9' } },
{ id: 's2', type: 'rectangle', boundingBox: { x: 100, y: 300, w: 200, h: 80 },
text: 'Database', style: { fill: '#7B68EE' } }
],
lines: [
{ id: 'l1', endpoint1: { shapeId: 's1' }, endpoint2: { shapeId: 's2' },
stroke: { color: '#333', width: 2 } }
]
}]
};
await client.documents.import(doc.documentId, importData);
Step 3: Export Document
const png = await client.documents.export(doc.documentId, {
format: 'png', pageIndex: 0, scale: 2
});
fs.writeFileSync('diagram.png', png);
