At first I was dealing something with namespace and I figure I need something quick to check if nodes are connected as expected so I make a ASCII graph. Then I figure it doesn't take too much to make this work with Mermaid and this is now the newer version of it. Is something like this useful? (The solid yellow one are node, black one are raw inputs, green are output and blue are intermediate input/output). This will render in notebook without any extra dependencies

that looks pretty cool. I guess you didnt use Kedro-viz component to render this chart, right?

No, I use the native kedro pipeline API only. I used some existing layout algorithm for the first image. The second one relies more on Mermaid’s own algorithm to draw the layout

thanks; i am wondering if this has any other benefits over NotebookVisualiser besides having kedro-viz as dependency installed in your notebook.

Good point. I forgot about NotebookVisualiser so I may need to check that out. For my use case I need something simple, I can customise anything here, the output is just markdown with

Mermaid

, so this can rendered, versioned on GitHub as well. I also did some color scheming here
