# About Mermaid
|
||||
|
||||
**Mermaid lets you represent diagrams using text and code.** This simplifies maintianing complex diagrams. It is a Javascript based diagramming and charting tool that renders Markdown-inspired text definitions to create and modify diagrams dynamically. The main purpose of Mermaid is to help Documentation catch up with Development.
|
||||
|
||||
Many editors, wikis and other tools have mermaid integrations already making it easy to start using mermaid. A few of those are described in [Simple start to write diagrams](./n00b-GettingStarted.md).

<!-- <Main description> -->
|
||||
> Doc-Rot is a Catch-22 that Mermaid helps to solve.
|
||||
|
||||
Diagramming and documentation costs precious developer time and gets outdated quickly.
|
||||
But not having diagrams or docs ruins productivity and hurts organizational learning. <br/>
|
||||
Mermaid addresses this Catch-22 by cutting the time, effort and tooling that is required to create modifiable diagrams and charts, for smarter and more reusable content.
|
||||
Mermaid, as a text-based diagramming tool allows for quick and easy updates, it can also be made part of production scripts (and other pieces of code), to make documentation much easier.
|
||||
With Mermaid less time needs to be spent on making diagrams, as a separate documentation task. <br/>
|
||||
|
||||
> Mermaid is a Diagramming tool for everyone.
|
||||
|
||||
Even non-programmers can create diagrams through the [Mermaid Live Editor](https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid-live-editor), Visit the [Tutorials Page](./Tutorials.md) for the Live Editor video tutorials.
|
||||
|
||||
Want to see what can be built with mermaid, or what applications already support it? Read the [Integrations and Usages for Mermaid](./integrations.md).
|
||||
|
||||
For a more detailed introduction to Mermaid and some of it's more basic uses, look to the [Overview for Beginners](./n00b-overview.md) and [Usage](./usage.md).

# Installation

|
||||
**In depth guides and examples can be found in [Getting Started](/n00b-gettingStarted) and [Usage](/usage).**
|
||||
|
||||
**It would also be helpful to learn more about mermaid's [Syntax](/n00b-syntaxReference).**

|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
https://unpkg.com/mermaid@<version>/dist/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To select a version:
|
||||
|
||||
Replace `<version>` with the desired version number.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can also adjust the version number in the page itself.

|
||||
|
||||
## Mermaid on a website
|
||||
To support mermaid on your website, all you have to do is add Mermaid’s JavaScript package
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1.You will need to install node v10 or 12, which would have npm
|
||||
|
||||
2. download yarn using npm.
|
||||
|
||||
3. enter the following command:
|
||||
yarn add mermaid
|
||||
|
||||
4. You can then add mermaid as a dev dependency using this command:
|
||||
yarn add --dev mermaid
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**To deploy mermaid without a bundler, one can insert a `script` tag with an absolute address and a `mermaidAPI` call into the HTML like so:**
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mermaid/dist/mermaid.min.js"></script>
|
||||
<script>mermaid.initialize({startOnLoad:true});</script>
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Doing so will command the mermaid parser to look for the `<div>` tags with `class="mermaid"` in your HTML Document. From these tags mermaid will try to read the diagram/chart definitons and render them as svg charts.**
|
||||
|
||||

## Request for Assistance
|
||||
|
||||
Things are piling up and I have a hard time keeping up. To remedy this
|
||||
it would be great if we could form a core team of developers to cooperate
|
||||
with the future development of mermaid.
|
||||
|
||||
As part of this team you would get write access to the repository and would
|
||||
represent the project when answering questions and issues.
|
||||
|
||||
Together we could continue the work with things like:
|
||||
|
||||
- Adding more types of diagrams like mindmaps, ert diagrams, etc.
|
||||
- Improving existing diagrams
|
||||
|
||||
Don't hesitate to contact me if you want to get involved!
|
||||
|
||||
## For contributors
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
yarn install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Build
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
yarn build:watch
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Lint
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
yarn lint
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
We use [eslint](https://eslint.org/).
|
||||
We recommend you installing [editor plugins](https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/integrations) so you can get real time lint result.
|
||||
|
||||
### Test
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
yarn test
|
||||
```
|
||||
Manual test in browser: open `dist/index.html`
|
||||
|
||||
### Release
|
||||
|
||||
For those who have the permission to do so:
|
||||
|
||||
Update version number in `package.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
npm publish
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Command above generates files into the `dist` folder and publishes them to npmjs.org.
|
||||
|
||||
## Credits
|
||||
|
||||
Many thanks to the [d3](http://d3js.org/) and [dagre-d3](https://github.com/cpettitt/dagre-d3) projects for providing the graphical layout and drawing libraries!
|

> An entity–relationship model (or ER model) describes interrelated things of interest in a specific domain of knowledge. A basic ER model is composed of entity types (which classify the things of interest) and specifies relationships that can exist between entities (instances of those entity types). Wikipedia.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that practitioners of ER modelling almost always refer to *entity types* simply as *entities*. For example the `CUSTOMER` entity *type* would be referred to simply as the `CUSTOMER` entity. This is so common it would be inadvisable to do anything else, but technically an entity is an abstract *instance* of an entity type, and this is what an ER diagram shows - abstract instances, and the relationships between them. This is why entities are always named using singular nouns.
