## mermaidAPI
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**][1] 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
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>
&lt;script>
var config = {
startOnLoad:true,
flowchart:{
useMaxWidth:true,
htmlLabels:true,
curve:'cardinal',
},
securityLevel:'loose',
};
mermaid.initialize(config);
&lt;/script>
</pre>
A summary of all options and their defaults is found [here][2]. A description of each option follows below.
## theme
theme , the CSS style sheet
**theme** - Choose one of the built-in themes:
- default
- forest
- dark
- neutral.
To disable any pre-defined mermaid theme, use "null".
**themeCSS** - Use your own CSS. This overrides **theme**.
<pre>
"theme": "forest",
"themeCSS": ".node rect { fill: red; }"
</pre>
## fontFamily
**fontFamily** The font to be used for the rendered diagrams. Default value is \\"trebuchet ms\\", verdana, arial;
## logLevel
This option decides the amount of logging to be used.

- warn: 3
- error: 4
- fatal: (**default**) 5
## securityLevel
Sets the level of trust to be used on the parsed diagrams.
- **strict**: (**default**) tags in text are encoded, click functionality is disabeled
- **loose**: tags in text are allowed, click functionality is enabled
## startOnLoad
This options controls whether or mermaid starts when the page loads

## render
Function that renders an svg with a graph from a chart definition. Usage example below.
```js
mermaidAPI.initialize({
startOnLoad:true
});
$(function(){
const graphDefinition = 'graph TB\na-->b';
const cb = function(svgGraph){
console.log(svgGraph);
};
mermaidAPI.render('id1',graphDefinition,cb);
});
```
### Parameters
- `id` the id of the element to be rendered
- `_txt`
- `cb` callback which is called after rendering is finished with the svg code as inparam.
- `container` selector to element in which a div with the graph temporarily will be inserted. In one is
provided a hidden div will be inserted in the body of the page instead. The element will be removed when rendering is
completed.
- `txt` the graph definition
