d2-python

An unofficial, fully typed python interface for building .d2 diagram files in python.

Installation

pip install d2-python

Usage

import d2

shapes = [
    d2.Shape(name="shape_name1", style=d2.Style(fill="red")),
    d2.Shape(name="shape_name2", style=d2.Style(fill="blue"))]
connections = [
    d2.Connection(shape_1="shape_name1", shape_2="shape_name2")
]

diagram = d2.Diagram(shapes=shapes, connections=connections)

with open("graph.d2", "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    f.write(str(diagram))

produces the following graph.d2 file:

shape_name1: {
  style: {
    fill: red
  }
}
shape_name2: {
  style: {
    fill: blue
  }
}
shape_name1 -> shape_name2

This can be rendered using d2 graph.d2 graph.svg && open graph.svg or https://play.d2lang.com/ to produce

See the tests for more detailed usage examples.
