D2 v0.6 introduces variable substitutions and globs. These two were the last of the features planned in the initial designs for D2, and v1 is now very close!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The power of variables and globs in a programming language need no introduction, so here's two minimal examples to get started:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Variables**:
|
||
|
|
```d2
|
||
|
|
vars: {
|
||
|
|
color: aquamarine
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
x.style.fill: ${color}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Globs**:
|
||
|
|
```d2
|
||
|
|
x
|
||
|
|
y
|
||
|
|
z
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*.style.fill: aquamarine
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Both are live on [D2 Playground](https://play.d2lang.com) so give it a try! Looking forward to your issues and iterating
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Layout capability also takes a subtle but important step forward: you can now customize the position of labels and icons.
