# Flowcharts - Basic Syntax
|
|
|
|
All Flowcharts are composed of **nodes**, the geometric shapes and **edges**, the arrows or lines. The mermaid code defines the way that these **nodes** and **edges** are made and interact.
|
|
|
|
It can also accommodate different arrow types, multi directional arrows, and linking to and from subgraphs.
|
|
|
|
> **Important note**: Do not type the word "end" as a Flowchart node. Capitalize all or any one the letters to keep the flowchart from breaking, i.e, "End" or "END". Or you can apply this [workaround](https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/issues/1444#issuecomment-639528897).\*\*
|
|
|
|
### A node (default)
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
id
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
id
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> **Note** The id is what is displayed in the box.
|
|
|
|
### A node with text
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to set text in the box that differs from the id. If this is done several times, it is the last text
|
|
found for the node that will be used. Also if you define edges for the node later on, you can omit text definitions. The
|
|
one previously defined will be used when rendering the box.
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
id1[This is the text in the box]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
id1[This is the text in the box]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Graph
|
|
|
|
This statement declares the direction of the Flowchart.
|
|
|
|
This declares the flowchart is oriented from top to bottom (`TD` or `TB`).
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart TD
|
|
Start --> Stop
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart TD
|
|
Start --> Stop
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This declares the flowchart is oriented from left to right (`LR`).
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
Start --> Stop
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
Start --> Stop
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Flowchart Orientation
|
|
|
|
Possible FlowChart orientations are:
|
|
|
|
- TB - top to bottom
|
|
- TD - top-down/ same as top to bottom
|
|
- BT - bottom to top
|
|
- RL - right to left
|
|
- LR - left to right
|
|
|
|
## Node shapes
|
|
|
|
### A node with round edges
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
id1(This is the text in the box)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
id1(This is the text in the box)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### A stadium-shaped node
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
id1([This is the text in the box])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
id1([This is the text in the box])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### A node in a subroutine shape
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
id1[[This is the text in the box]]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
id1[[This is the text in the box]]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### A node in a cylindrical shape
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
id1[(Database)]
|
|

|
id1[(Database)]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### A node in the form of a circle
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
id1((This is the text in the circle))

```
|
|
|
|
### A node in an asymmetric shape
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
id1>This is the text in the box]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
id1>This is the text in the box]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Currently only the shape above is possible and not its mirror. _This might change with future releases._
|
|
|
|
### A node (rhombus)

|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart TD
|
|
id1(((This is the text in the circle)))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Links between nodes
|
|
|
|
Nodes can be connected with links/edges. It is possible to have different types of links or attach a text string to a link.
|
|
|
|
### A link with arrow head
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A-->B
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A-->B
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### An open link
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A --- B
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A --- B
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Text on links
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A-- This is the text! ---B
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A-- This is the text! ---B
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A---|This is the text|B
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A---|This is the text|B
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### A link with arrow head and text
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A-->|text|B
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A-->|text|B
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A-- text -->B
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A-- text -->B
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Dotted link
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR;
|
|
A-.->B;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR;
|
|
A-.->B;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Dotted link with text
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A-. text .-> B
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A-. text .-> B
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Thick link
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A ==> B
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A ==> B
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Thick link with text
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A == text ==> B
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A == text ==> B
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Chaining of links
|
|
|
|
It is possible declare many links in the same line as per below:
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A -- text --> B -- text2 --> C
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A -- text --> B -- text2 --> C
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to declare multiple nodes links in the same line as per below:
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
a --> b & c--> d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
a --> b & c--> d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then describe dependencies in a very expressive way. Like the one-liner below:
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart TB
|
|
A & B--> C & D
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart TB
|
|
A & B--> C & D
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you describe the same diagram using the the basic syntax, it will take four lines. A
|
|
word of warning, one could go overboard with this making the flowchart harder to read in
|
|
markdown form. The Swedish word `lagom` comes to mind. It means, not too much and not too little.
|
|
This goes for expressive syntaxes as well.
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart TB
|
|
A --> C
|
|
A --> D
|
|
B --> C
|
|
B --> D
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart TB
|
|
A --> C
|
|
A --> D
|
|
B --> C
|
|
B --> D
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### New arrow types
|
|
|
|
There are new types of arrows supported as per below:
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A --o B
|
|
B --x C
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A --o B
|
|
B --x C
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Multi directional arrows
|
|
|
|
There is the possibility to use multidirectional arrows.
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A o--o B
|
|
B <--> C
|
|
C x--x D
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A o--o B
|
|
B <--> C
|
|
C x--x D
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Minimum length of a link
|
|
|
|
Each node in the flowchart is ultimately assigned to a rank in the rendered
|
|
graph, i.e. to a vertical or horizontal level (depending on the flowchart
|
|
orientation), based on the nodes to which it is linked. By default, links
|
|
can span any number of ranks, but you can ask for any link to be longer
|
|
than the others by adding extra dashes in the link definition.
|
|
|
|
In the following example, two extra dashes are added in the link from node _B_
|
|
to node _E_, so that it spans two more ranks than regular links:
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart TD
|
|
A[Start] --> B{Is it?}
|
|
B -->|Yes| C[OK]
|
|
C --> D[Rethink]
|
|
D --> B
|
|
B ---->|No| E[End]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart TD
|
|
A[Start] --> B{Is it?}
|
|
B -->|Yes| C[OK]
|
|
C --> D[Rethink]
|
|
D --> B
|
|
B ---->|No| E[End]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> **Note** Links may still be made longer than the requested number of ranks
|
|
> by the rendering engine to accommodate other requests.
|
|
|
|
When the link label is written in the middle of the link, the extra dashes must
|
|
be added on the right side of the link. The following example is equivalent to
|
|
the previous one:
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart TD
|
|
A[Start] --> B{Is it?}
|
|
B -- Yes --> C[OK]
|
|
C --> D[Rethink]
|
|
D --> B
|
|
B -- No ----> E[End]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart TD
|
|
A[Start] --> B{Is it?}
|
|
B -- Yes --> C[OK]
|
|
C --> D[Rethink]
|
|
D --> B
|
|
B -- No ----> E[End]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For dotted or thick links, the characters to add are equals signs or dots,
|
|
as summed up in the following table:
|
|
|
|
| Length | 1 | 2 | 3 |
|
|
| ----------------- | :----: | :-----: | :------: |
|
|
| Normal | `---` | `----` | `-----` |
|
|
| Normal with arrow | `-->` | `--->` | `---->` |
|
|
| Thick | `===` | `====` | `=====` |
|
|
| Thick with arrow | `==>` | `===>` | `====>` |
|
|
| Dotted | `-.-` | `-..-` | `-...-` |
|
|
| Dotted with arrow | `-.->` | `-..->` | `-...->` |
|
|
|
|
## Special characters that break syntax
|
|
|
|
It is possible to put text within quotes in order to render more troublesome characters. As in the example below:
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
id1["This is the (text) in the box"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
id1["This is the (text) in the box"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Entity codes to escape characters
|
|
|
|
It is possible to escape characters using the syntax exemplified here.
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A["A double quote:#quot;"] -->B["A dec char:#9829;"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A["A double quote:#quot;"] -->B["A dec char:#9829;"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Numbers given are base 10, so `#` can be encoded as `#35;`. It is also supported to use HTML character names.
|
|
|
|
## Subgraphs
|
|
|
|
subgraph title
|
|
graph definition
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
An example below:
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart TB
|
|
c1-->a2
|
|
subgraph one
|
|
a1-->a2
|
|
end
|
|
subgraph two
|
|
b1-->b2
|
|
end
|
|
subgraph three
|
|
c1-->c2
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart TB
|
|
c1-->a2
|
|
subgraph one
|
|
a1-->a2
|
|
end
|
|
subgraph two
|
|
b1-->b2
|
|
end
|
|
subgraph three
|
|
c1-->c2
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also set an explicit id for the subgraph.
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart TB
|
|
c1-->a2
|
|
subgraph ide1 [one]
|
|
a1-->a2
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart TB
|
|
c1-->a2
|
|
subgraph ide1 [one]
|
|
a1-->a2
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## flowcharts
|
|
|
|
With the graphtype flowchart it is also possible to set edges to and from subgraphs as in the flowchart below.
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart TB
|
|
c1-->a2
|
|
subgraph one
|
|
a1-->a2
|
|
end
|
|
subgraph two
|
|
b1-->b2
|
|
end
|
|
subgraph three
|
|
c1-->c2
|
|
end
|
|
one --> two
|
|
three --> two
|
|
two --> c2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart TB
|
|
c1-->a2
|
|
subgraph one
|
|
a1-->a2
|
|
end
|
|
subgraph two
|
|
b1-->b2
|
|
end
|
|
subgraph three
|
|
c1-->c2
|
|
end
|
|
one --> two
|
|
three --> two
|
|
two --> c2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Direction in subgraphs
|
|
|
|
With the graphtype flowcharts you can use the direction statement to set the direction which the subgraph will render like in this example.
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
subgraph TOP
|
|
direction TB
|
|
subgraph B1
|
|
direction RL
|
|
i1 -->f1
|
|
end
|
|
subgraph B2
|
|
direction BT
|
|
i2 -->f2
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
A --> TOP --> B
|
|
B1 --> B2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
subgraph TOP
|
|
direction TB
|
|
subgraph B1
|
|
direction RL
|
|
i1 -->f1
|
|
end
|
|
subgraph B2
|
|
direction BT
|
|
i2 -->f2
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
A --> TOP --> B
|
|
B1 --> B2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**A clarification is in order here.** The direction statement affects the layout of a subgraph but only as long as it does not have any links leading in or out of it. The reason for this is that if you have links in or out then the graph of nodes is not longer the set of nodes in the subgraph but actually the set of nodes of the parent including the ones in the subgraph. One can see it as that the direction of the container gets injected in the subgraph with a link.
|
|
|
|
## Interaction
|
|
|
|
It is possible to bind a click event to a node, the click can lead to either a javascript callback or to a link which will be opened in a new browser tab. **Note**: This functionality is disabled when using `securityLevel='strict'` and enabled when using `securityLevel='loose'`.
|
|
|
|
click nodeId callback
|
|
click nodeId call callback()
|
|
|
|
- nodeId is the id of the node
|
|
- callback is the name of a javascript function defined on the page displaying the graph, the function will be called with the nodeId as parameter.
|
|
|
|
Examples of tooltip usage below:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<script>
|
|
var callback = function () {
|
|
alert('A callback was triggered');
|
|

### Comments
|
|
|
|
Comments can be entered within a flow diagram, which will be ignored by the parser. Comments need to be on their own line, and must be prefaced with `%%` (double percent signs). Any text after the start of the comment to the next newline will be treated as a comment, including any flow syntax
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
%% this is a comment A -- text --> B{node}
|
|
A -- text --> B -- text2 --> C
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
%% this is a comment A -- text --> B{node}
|
|
A -- text --> B -- text2 --> C
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Styling and classes
|
|
|
|
### Styling links
|
|
|
|
It is possible to style links. For instance, you might want to style a link that is going backwards in the flow. As links
|
|
have no ids in the same way as nodes, some other way of deciding what style the links should be attached to is required.
|
|
Instead of ids, the order number of when the link was defined in the graph is used, or use default to apply to all links.
|
|
In the example below the style defined in the linkStyle statement will belong to the fourth link in the graph:
|
|
|
|
linkStyle 3 stroke:#ff3,stroke-width:4px,color:red;
|
|
|
|
### Styling line curves
|
|
|
|
It is possible to style the type of curve used for lines between items, if the default method does not meet your needs.
|
|
Available curve styles include `basis`, `bump`, `linear`, `monotoneX`, `monotoneY`, `natural`, `step`, `stepAfter`,
|
|
and `stepBefore`.
|
|
|
|
In this example, a left-to-right graph uses the `stepBefore` curve style:
|
|
|
|
%%{ init: { 'flowchart': { 'curve': 'stepBefore' } } }%%
|
|
graph LR
|
|
|
|
For a full list of available curves, including an explanation of custom curves, refer to
|
|
the [Shapes](https://github.com/d3/d3-shape/blob/main/README.md#curves) documentation in the
|
|
[d3-shape](https://github.com/d3/d3-shape/) project.
|
|
|
|
### Styling a node
|
|
|
|
It is possible to apply specific styles such as a thicker border or a different background color to a node.
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
id1(Start)-->id2(Stop)
|
|
style id1 fill:#f9f,stroke:#333,stroke-width:4px
|
|
style id2 fill:#bbf,stroke:#f66,stroke-width:2px,color:#fff,stroke-dasharray: 5 5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
id1(Start)-->id2(Stop)
|
|
style id1 fill:#f9f,stroke:#333,stroke-width:4px
|
|
style id2 fill:#bbf,stroke:#f66,stroke-width:2px,color:#fff,stroke-dasharray: 5 5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Classes
|
|
|
|
More convenient than defining the style every time is to define a class of styles and attach this class to the nodes that
|
|
should have a different look.
|
|
|
|
a class definition looks like the example below:
|
|
|
|
classDef className fill:#f9f,stroke:#333,stroke-width:4px;
|
|
|
|
Attachment of a class to a node is done as per below:
|
|
|
|
class nodeId1 className;
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to attach a class to a list of nodes in one statement:
|
|
|
|
class nodeId1,nodeId2 className;
|
|
|
|
A shorter form of adding a class is to attach the classname to the node using the `:::`operator as per below:
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A:::someclass --> B
|
|
classDef someclass fill:#f96;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A:::someclass --> B
|
|
classDef someclass fill:#f96;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Css classes
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to predefine classes in css styles that can be applied from the graph definition as in the example
|
|
below:
|
|
|
|
**Example style**
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<style>
|
|
.cssClass > rect {
|
|
fill: #ff0000;
|
|
stroke: #ffff00;
|
|
stroke-width: 4px;
|
|
}
|
|
</style>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Example definition**
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR;
|
|
A-->B[AAA<span>BBB</span>]
|
|
B-->D
|
|
class A cssClass
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR;
|
|
A-->B[AAA<span>BBB</span>]
|
|
B-->D
|
|
class A cssClass
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Default class
|
|
|
|
If a class is named default it will be assigned to all classes without specific class definitions.
|
|
|
|
classDef default fill:#f9f,stroke:#333,stroke-width:4px;
|
|
|
|
## Basic support for fontawesome
|
|
|
|
It is possible to add icons from fontawesome.
|
|
|
|
The icons are accessed via the syntax fa:#icon class name#.
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart TD
|
|
B["fab:fa-twitter for peace"]
|
|
B-->C[fa:fa-ban forbidden]
|
|
B-->D(fa:fa-spinner);
|
|
B-->E(A fa:fa-camera-retro perhaps?)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart TD
|
|
B["fab:fa-twitter for peace"]
|
|
B-->C[fa:fa-ban forbidden]
|
|
B-->D(fa:fa-spinner);
|
|
B-->E(A fa:fa-camera-retro perhaps?)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
?> Mermaid is now only compatible with Font Awesome versions 4 and 5. Check that you are using the correct version of Font Awesome.
|
|
|
|
## Graph declarations with spaces between vertices and link and without semicolon
|
|
|
|
- In graph declarations, the statements also can now end without a semicolon. After release 0.2.16, ending a graph statement with semicolon is just optional. So the below graph declaration is also valid along with the old declarations of the graph.
|
|
|
|
- A single space is allowed between vertices and the link. However there should not be any space between a vertex and its text and a link and its text. The old syntax of graph declaration will also work and hence this new feature is optional and is introduced to improve readability.
|
|
|
|
Below is the new declaration of the graph edges which is also valid along with the old declaration of the graph edges.
|
|
|
|
```mermaid-example
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A[Hard edge] -->|Link text| B(Round edge)
|
|
B --> C{Decision}
|
|
C -->|One| D[Result one]
|
|
C -->|Two| E[Result two]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A[Hard edge] -->|Link text| B(Round edge)
|
|
B --> C{Decision}
|
|
C -->|One| D[Result one]
|
|
C -->|Two| E[Result two]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration...
|
|
|
|
Is it possible to adjust the width of the rendered flowchart.
|
|
|
|
This is done by defining **mermaid.flowchartConfig** or by the CLI to use a JSON file with the configuration. How to use the CLI is described in the mermaidCLI page.
|
|
mermaid.flowchartConfig can be set to a JSON string with config parameters or the corresponding object.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
mermaid.flowchartConfig = {
|
|
width: 100%
|
|
}
|
|
```
