--- title : "Mermaid" description : "Generation of diagram and flowchart from text in a similar manner as markdown" --- [Mermaid](https://mermaidjs.github.io/) is a library helping you to generate diagram and flowcharts from text, in a similar manner as Markdown. Just insert your mermaid code in the `mermaid` shortcode and that's it. ## Flowchart example {{}} graph LR; A[Hard edge] -->|Link text| B(Round edge) B --> C{Decision} C -->|One| D[Result one] C -->|Two| E[Result two] {{}} renders as {{}} graph LR; A[Hard edge] -->|Link text| B(Round edge) B --> C{Decision} C -->|One| D[Result one] C -->|Two| E[Result two] {{< /mermaid >}} or you can use this alternative syntax: 
```mermaid
graph LR;
  A[Hard edge] -->|Link text| B(Round edge)
    B --> C{Decision}
    C -->|One| D[Result one]
    C -->|Two| E[Result two]
```
renders as ```mermaid graph LR; A[Hard edge] -->|Link text| B(Round edge) B --> C{Decision} C -->|One| D[Result one] C -->|Two| E[Result two] ``` ## Sequence example {{}} sequenceDiagram participant Alice participant Bob Alice->>John: Hello John, how are you? loop Healthcheck John->John: Fight against hypochondria end Note right of John: Rational thoughts
prevail... John-->Alice: Great! John->Bob: How about you? Bob-->John: Jolly good! {{}} renders as {{}} sequenceDiagram participant Alice participant Bob Alice->>John: Hello John, how are you? loop Healthcheck John->John: Fight against hypochondria end Note right of John: Rational thoughts
prevail... John-->Alice: Great! John->Bob: How about you? Bob-->John: Jolly good! {{< /mermaid >}} or you can use this alternative syntax: 
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
    participant Alice
    participant Bob
    Alice->>John: Hello John, how are you?
    loop Healthcheck
        John->John: Fight against hypochondria
    end
    Note right of John: Rational thoughts 
prevail...
    John-->Alice: Great!
    John->Bob: How about you?
    Bob-->John: Jolly good!
```
renders as ```mermaid sequenceDiagram participant Alice participant Bob Alice->>John: Hello John, how are you? loop Healthcheck John->John: Fight against hypochondria end Note right of John: Rational thoughts

  Class09 --|> Class07
  Class07 : equals()
  Class07 : Object[] elementData
  Class01 : size()
  Class01 : int chimp
  Class01 : int gorilla
  Class08 <--> C2: Cool label
```
