Mermaid Diagrams
Generate diagrams in markdown that render in GitHub, GitLab, VS Code, Obsidian, Notion.
Quick Start
```mermaid flowchart LR A[Start] --> B{Decision} B -->|Yes| C[Action] B -->|No| D[End] ```
Quick Decision Tree
What to visualize? ├─ Process, algorithm, decision flow → flowchart ├─ API calls, service interactions → sequenceDiagram ├─ Database tables, relationships → erDiagram ├─ OOP, type hierarchy, domain model → classDiagram ├─ State machine, lifecycle → stateDiagram-v2 ├─ System architecture, services → flowchart + subgraphs (or C4Context) ├─ Project timeline, sprints → gantt ├─ User experience, pain points → journey ├─ Git branches → gitGraph ├─ Data distribution → pie └─ Priority matrix → quadrantChart
Diagram Types
| Type | Declaration | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Flowchart | | Processes, decisions, data flow |
| Sequence | | API flows, service calls |
| ER | | Database schemas |
| Class | | Types, domain models |
| State | | State machines |
| Gantt | | Project timelines |
| Journey | | User experience |
| C4 | | System architecture |
| Git | | Branch visualization |
Common Patterns
System Architecture
flowchart LR subgraph Client Browser & Mobile end subgraph Services API --> Auth & Core end subgraph Data DB[(PostgreSQL)] end Client --> API Core --> DB
API Request Flow
sequenceDiagram autonumber Client->>+API: POST /orders API->>Auth: Validate Auth-->>API: OK API->>+DB: Insert DB-->>-API: ID API-->>-Client: 201 Created
Database Schema
erDiagram USER ||--o{ ORDER : places ORDER ||--|{ LINE_ITEM : contains USER { uuid id PK; string email UK } ORDER { uuid id PK; uuid user_id FK }
State Machine
stateDiagram-v2 [*] --> Draft Draft --> Submitted : submit() Submitted --> Approved : approve() Submitted --> Rejected : reject() Approved --> [*]
Syntax Quick Reference
Flowchart Nodes
[Rectangle] (Rounded) {Diamond} [(Database)] [[Subroutine]] ((Circle)) >Asymmetric] {{Hexagon}}
Flowchart Edges
A --> B # Arrow A --- B # Line A -.-> B # Dotted arrow A ==> B # Thick arrow A -->|text| B # Labeled
Sequence Arrows
->> # Solid arrow (request) -->> # Dotted arrow (response) -x # X end (async) -) # Open arrow
ER Cardinality
||--|| # One to one ||--o{ # One to many }o--o{ # Many to many
Best Practices
- Choose the right type — Use decision tree above
- Keep focused — One concept per diagram
- Use meaningful labels — Not just A, B, C
- Direction matters —
for flows,LR
for hierarchiesTB - Group with subgraphs — Organize related nodes
