Small and minimalist Plantuml cli written with V

Using the deflate algorythm. Started with the hex encode at first, so it is also implemented but not used since it generates shorter links from deflate.

Usage

Once built for your target, commands below are availables.

From string (do not forget the quotation mark):

./vplantuml -s "@startuml
Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response
@enduml"

From File (.txt):

./vplantuml -f plantuml_file.txt

From File with output saved as svg:

./vplantuml -o -f plantuml_file.txt

Outputs using the same text:

http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/svg/1K313O0W3FmpHHTW0Hz67C4D42-n2RGgr_tDDba_nkYfT6sGlChkvo8bUCEehLBTvC0Rc4oxdvBpAgLhmo8bUCEehLBTvC1yt2RI1hjYz1y0

Or else, use v run e.g.:

v run . -f plantuml_file.txt

Limitation

Output diagrams are saved as svg at root of the folder with the same name of file or ".svg" from string. Only written and tested on Arch Linux(Manjaro).
