The ArchSmith renderer — a validated diagram IR in, a complete SVG document out. Pure function, no I/O beyond reading its own bundled font, no LLM dependency.

See the root README for what ArchSmith is, what the IR looks like, and why the renderer is built this way.

Usage

import { render, validate } from "@archsmith/renderer";

const result = validate(ir); // { valid: boolean, errors: string[] }
if (result.valid) {
  const svg = render(ir); // complete SVG document, as a string
}

render() validates the IR itself before rendering (pass { skipValidate: true } to skip, e.g. if you've already validated). By default it embeds the bundled Arimo font into the output SVG so a diagram renders identically regardless of what's installed on the machine viewing it — subset to just the glyphs that diagram's own text needs, not the whole font, so the size added scales with the diagram rather than a fixed cost. Pass { embedFonts: false } to skip embedding entirely and get a smaller file still.

What's in here

validate() / validateStructure() / validateRegistryReferences() — schema (structural) and registry-reference (semantic) validation against @archsmith/schema.
render() — the full IR → SVG pipeline: measure, lay out five columns, assemble, optionally embed fonts.
measureText() / wrapText() — real glyph-advance-width text measurement (via fontkit against the bundled Arimo font) and word wrapping, used throughout layout instead of a flat character-count heuristic.
SVG primitives and box-drawing functions (rect, text, pill, actorBox, itemBox, clusterBox, gatewayBox, layerFrame, …) if you want to compose diagram fragments yourself rather than going through render().

Everything here is content-driven: box sizes, text wrapping, and row heights are computed from the actual IR content, never a fixed number the caller supplies and hopes is big enough.
