Pamphlet
  • English

      • Architecture diagrams

      What it is

      Which parts a system is made of and how they connect, with built-in cloud, database, disk and server icons.

      When to use it

      Deployment architecture, what a system is composed of.

      How to write it

      Pamphlet's own syntax — declarations first, relationships second; all seventeen kinds share this skeleton:

      :::architecture[Build stage]
services:
  src = disk "Source"
  engine = server "Diagram engine"
  out = database "Output"
links:
  src -- engine
  engine -- out
:::

      This syntax does not render on GitHub. If you need it to, write the same diagram as a Mermaid fence instead.

      What comes out

      Drawn to SVG at compile time and inlined into the output, so the reader downloads no drawing library and makes no network request. Colours follow the theme; scroll to zoom, drag to pan, double-click to reset.

      Traps

      • The block names are fixed: services: and links:
      • A service line is id = icon "label"; the icon name goes straight to Mermaid — cloud / database / disk / server / internet, defaulting to server
      • Write a link as a -- b; which edge it leaves from is chosen for you (always R to L)
      • Groups (group) are not available here — use a Mermaid fence for those
