Embedding Architecture Diagrams

Basic Embed

{{< likec4-view view="view-name" project="project-name" >}}

Parameters

• view (required) - The view ID from your LikeC4 model
• project (optional, default: "architecture") - The LikeC4 project name
• title (optional, default: "Architecture View: {view}") - Custom header text above the diagram

Examples

{{< likec4-view view="overview" project="documentation-platform" >}}
{{< likec4-view view="localDevelopment" project="documentation-platform" >}}
{{< likec4-view view="cicdPipeline" project="documentation-platform" >}}
{{< likec4-view view="otc-faas" project="architecture" title="OTC FaaS Deployment" >}}

LikeC4 Commands

Regenerate Webcomponents

After modifying .c4 files:

task likec4:generate

This regenerates both:

• static/js/likec4-webcomponent.js (EDP architecture)
• static/js/likec4-doc-webcomponent.js (Documentation platform)

Start Development Server

cd resources/doc-likec4  # or resources/edp-likec4
npm install
npm start

Opens LikeC4 IDE at http://localhost:5173

Export Diagrams

cd resources/doc-likec4
npx likec4 export png -o ./images .

Git Workflow

Feature Branch

# Create feature branch
git checkout -b feature/your-feature

# Make changes and test

git commit -m "Description of changes"

# Push
git push origin feature/your-feature

# Create pull request on GitHub

Update from Main
