The mermaid
shortcode generates diagrams and flowcharts from text, in a similar manner as Markdown using the Mermaid library.
{{< mermaid align="center">}} graph LR; If --> Then Then --> Else {{< /mermaid >}}
Usage
While the examples are using shortcodes with named parameter it is recommended to use Markdown codefences instead. This is because more and more other software supports Mermaid Markdown codefences (eg. GitHub) and so your markdown becomes more portable.
You are free to also call this shortcode from your own partials.
{{< tabs groupid="shortcode-parameter">}} {{% tab title="markdown" %}}
```mermaid { align="center" zoom="true" }
graph LR;
If --> Then
Then --> Else
```
{{% /tab %}} {{% tab title="shortcode" %}}
{{</* mermaid align="center" zoom="true" */>}}
graph LR;
If --> Then
Then --> Else
{{</* /mermaid */>}}
{{% /tab %}} {{% tab title="partial" %}}
{{ partial "shortcodes/mermaid.html" (dict
"page" .
"content" "graph LR;\nIf --> Then\nThen --> Else"
"align" "center"
"zoom" "true"
)}}
{{% /tab %}} {{< /tabs >}}
The generated graphs can be panned by dragging them and zoomed by using the mousewheel. On mobile devices you can use finger gestures.
Parameter
Name | Default | Notes |
---|---|---|
align | center |
Allowed values are left , center or right . |
zoom | see notes | Whether the graph is pan- and zoomable. If not set the value is determined by the mermaidZoom setting of the site or the pages frontmatter or false if not set at all.- false : no pan or zoom- true : pan and zoom active |
<content> | <empty> | Your Mermaid graph. |
Configuration
Mermaid is configured with default settings. You can customize Mermaid's default settings for all of your files through a JSON object in your hugo.toml
, override these settings per page through your pages frontmatter or override these setting per diagramm through diagram directives.
The JSON object of your hugo.toml
/ frontmatter is forwarded into Mermaid's mermaid.initialize()
function.
See Mermaid documentation for all allowed settings.
The theme
setting can also be set by your used color variant. This will be the sitewide default and can - again - be overridden by your settings in hugo.toml
, frontmatter or diagram directives.
Global Configuration File
{{< multiconfig file=hugo >}} [params] mermaidInitialize = "{ "theme": "dark" }" mermaidZoom = true {{< /multiconfig >}}
Page's Frontmatter
{{< multiconfig fm=true >}} mermaidInitialize = "{ "theme": "dark" }" mermaidZoom = true {{< /multiconfig >}}
