## mermaidAPI

Edit this
Page[\[N|Solid\](img/GitHub-Mark-32px.png)][1]

This is the API to be used when optionally handling the integration with the web page, instead of
using the default integration provided by mermaid.js.

The core of this api is the [**render**][2] function which, given a graph
definition as text, renders the graph/diagram and returns an svg element for the graph.

It is is then up to the user of the API to make use of the svg, either insert it somewhere in the
page or do something completely different.

In addition to the render function, a number of behavioral configuration options are available.

## Configuration

**Configuration methods in Mermaid version 8.6.0 have been updated, to learn more\[[click
here][3]].**

## **What follows are config instructions for older versions**

These are the default options which can be overridden with the initialization call like so:

**Example 1:**<pre> mermaid.initialize({ flowchart:{ htmlLabels: false } }); </pre>

**Example 2:**<pre> <script> var config = { startOnLoad:true, flowchart:{ useMaxWidth:true,
htmlLabels:true, curve:'cardinal', },

    securityLevel:'loose',

}; mermaid.initialize(config); </script> </pre>

A summary of all options and their defaults is found [here][4].
A description of each option follows below.

## securityLevel

| Parameter     | Description                       | Type   | Required | Values                          |
| ------------- | --------------------------------- | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------- |
| securitylevel | Level of trust for parsed diagram | string | Required | 'strict', 'loose', 'antiscript' |

**Notes**:

-   **strict**: (**default**) tags in text are encoded, click functionality is disabled
-   **loose**: tags in text are allowed, click functionality is enabled
-   **antiscript**: html tags in text are allowed, (only script element is removed), click
    functionality is enabled

## startOnLoad

| Parameter   | Description                                  | Type    | Required | Values      |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------- | ------- | -------- | ----------- |

**Notes:** Default value: true

## arrowMarkerAbsolute

| Parameter           | Description                                                                  | Type    | Required | Values      |

Default value: false

## secure

This option controls which currentConfig keys are considered _secure_ and can only be changed
via call to mermaidAPI.initialize. Calls to mermaidAPI.reinitialize cannot make changes to the
`secure` keys in the current currentConfig. This prevents malicious graph directives from
overriding a site's default security.

**Notes**:

Default value: ['secure', 'securityLevel', 'startOnLoad', 'maxTextSize']

## deterministicIds

This option controls if the generated ids of nodes in the SVG are generated randomly or based
on a seed. If set to false, the IDs are generated based on the current date and thus are not
deterministic. This is the default behaviour.

**Notes**:

This matters if your files are checked into sourcecontrol e.g. git and should not change unless
content is changed.

Default value: false

## deterministicIDSeed

This option is the optional seed for deterministic ids. if set to undefined but
deterministicIds is true, a simple number iterator is used. You can set this attribute to base
the seed on a static string.
