JSON Import #17

Closed willneumann closed 3 years ago

willneumann commented 3 years ago

Is there a way to import a graph to the arrows.app?

My use case is as follows: Once I've drawn up a graph in the arrows.app, I'd like to share it with other people so they can keep working on it in arrows.app.

Here's the flow:

  1. I create a graph in arrows.app
  2. I export the graph in JSON format
  3. Send it to another person
  4. The person imports the graph into their own browser session on arrows.app

Is 4. above doable?

Hi @willneumann I think what you are asking about it possible, but possibly I don't completely understand what you're asking for. Have a look at the Import item on the main dropdown menu:

Possibly, you haven't even seen this menu? It needs to become more obvious if so.

One issue I have found there is that the theme is derived from the existing "canvas" rather than from the imported json.

Hi @apcj, right. I didn't see that menu at all, if you could make it more obvious to people, that would be fantastic. That answers my question, thanks a bunch!

@willneumann glad that you found the menu! I will look into how to make it more obvious.

I'm going to close this specific issue, because JSON import is available.

@cadserf your comment sounds like a limitation of the JSON import feature. I will start a conversation about that on the other issue you raised.
