---

[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.

## Examples

### Flowchart example

    {{</*mermaid align="left"*/>}}
    graph LR;
        A[Hard edge] -->|Link text| B(Round edge)
        B --> C{<strong>Decision</strong>}
        C -->|One| D[Result one]
        C -->|Two| E[Result two]
    {{</* /mermaid */>}}

renders as

{{<mermaid align="left">}}
graph LR;
    A[Hard edge] -->|Link text| B(Round edge)
    B --> C{<strong>Decision</strong>}
    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

    {{</* 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 <br/>prevail...
        John-->Alice: Great!
        John->Bob: How about you?
        Bob-->John: Jolly good!
    {{</* /mermaid */>}}

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 <br/>prevail...
    John-->Alice: Great!
    John->Bob: How about you?
    Bob-->John: Jolly good!
{{</mermaid>}}

### Class example

    {{</* mermaid */>}}

      Class07 .. Class08
      Class09 --> C2 : Where am i?
      Class09 --* C3
      Class09 --|> Class07
      Class07 : equals()
      Class07 : Object[] elementData
      Class01 : size()
      Class01 : int chimp
      Class01 : int gorilla
      Class08 <--> C2: Cool label
    {{</* /mermaid */>}}

renders as

{{<mermaid>}}

  Class07 .. Class08
  Class09 --> C2 : Where am i?

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

### State Diagrams

    {{</* mermaid */>}}
    stateDiagram-v2
      open: Open Door
      closed: Closed Door
      locked: Locked Door
      open   --> closed: Close
      closed --> locked: Lock

  closed --> open: Open
{{</mermaid>}}

## Configuration

Mermaid is configured with default settings. You can customize mermaids default settings for all of your files thru a JSON object in your `config.toml` or override these settings sidewise thru your pages frontmatter.

This JSON object is forwarded into mermaids `mermaid.initialize()` function.

See [mermaid documentation](http://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/getting-started/Setup.html#mermaidapi-configuration-defaults) for all allowed settings.

### Example

````toml
[params]
  mermaidInitialize = "{ \"theme\": \"dark\" }"
````

or pages frontmatter
````toml
+++
mermaidInitialize = "{ \"theme\": \"dark\" }"
