CLI CSV Import Option/Feature

[exwhyz]

It would be a great CLI feature to add a CsvImport option that will allow direct rendering from the CLI without opening the draw.io GUI and manually entering the CSV using the Arrange > Insert > Advanced > CSV. Something along these lines:

$ draw.io -CsvImport <MY_CSV_FILENAME.csv> -c <MY_CLI_GRAPH.drawio> -o <MY_GRAPH.jpg>

Agree! I'm trying to figure out the best way to maintain and update a diagram that is based on database info. Currently, in visio it is linked to a database and I hit refresh. I would like to switch to draw.io but seems like the only was to achieve similar result is to generate a csv for the data, append to the header info, and the copy and paste through the GUI each time I want to refresh. If there was a CLI I could just have a script run on a cron job and always be updated.

Maybe there is another solution I'm not aware of?
