mermaid簡介

當撰寫文檔的時候,對於流程圖的生成大多使用Visio等繁重的工具,沒有一種輕便的工具能夠畫圖從而簡化文檔的編寫,就像markdown那樣。
mermaid解決這個痛點,這是一個類似markdown語法的腳本語言,通過JavaScript實現圖表的生成。
先來看個例子:
1.流程圖(flowchart)
graph LR;
A-->B;
A-->C;
B-->D;
C-->D;
生成的圖表如下所示:
2. 時序圖(sequence diagram)
sequenceDiagram
participant Alice
participant Bob
Alice->John:Hello John, how are you?
loop Healthcheck
John->John:Fight against hypochondria
end
Note right of John:Rational thoughts <br/>prevail...
John-->Alice:Great!
John->Bob: How about you?
Bob-->John: Jolly good!
生成的圖表如下所示:

Graph
graph LR
A --> B
這是申明一個由左到右,水平向右的圖。\
可能方向有:
- TB - top bottom
- BT - bottom top
- RL - right left
- LR - left right
- TD - same as TB
節點與形狀
默認節點
graph LR
id1
注意:’id’顯示在節點內部。
文本節點

graph LR
id[This is the text in the box];
圓角節點

graph LR
id(This is the text in the box);
圓節點(The form of a circle)

graph LR
id((This is the text in the circle));
非對稱節點(asymetric shape)

graph LR
id>This is the text in the box]
菱形節點(rhombus)

graph LR
id{This is the text in the box}
連接線
節點間的連接線有多種形狀,而且可以在連接線中加入標簽:
箭頭形連接

graph LR;
A-->B;
開放行連接

graph LR
A --- B
標簽連接

graph LR
A -- This is the label text --- B;
箭頭標簽連接
A–>|text|B\
或者\
A– text –>B

graph LR
A-- text -->B
虛線(dotted link,點連線)
-.->

graph LR
A-.->B
-.-.

graph LR
A-.-.B
標簽虛線
-.text.->
graph LR
A-.text.->B

粗實線
==>
graph LR A==>B

===
graph LR A===B

標簽粗線
=\=text\==>
graph LR A==text==>B

=\=text\===
graph LR A==text===B

特殊的語法
使用引號可以抑制一些特殊的字符的使用,可以避免一些不必要的麻煩。
graph LR\
d1[“This is the (text) in the box”]
graph LR
d1["This is the (text) in the box"]

html字符的轉義字符
轉義字符的使用語法:
流程圖定義如下:
graph LR\
A[“A double quote:#quot;”] –> B[“A dec char:#9829;”]
渲染后的圖如下:

graph LR
A["A double quote:#quot;"]-->B["A dec char:#9829;"]
子圖(Subgraphs)
subgraph title\
graph definition\
end
示例:
graph TB
subgraph one
a1 --> a2
en
subgraph two
b2 --> b2
end
subgraph three
c1 --> c2
end
c1 --> a2
結果:

基礎fontawesome支持
如果想加入來自frontawesome的圖表字體,需要像frontawesome網站上那樣引用的那樣。\
詳情請點擊:fontawdsome
引用的語法為:++fa:#icon class name#++
graph TD
B["fa:fa-twitter for peace"]
B-->C[fa:fa-ban forbidden]
B-->D(fa:fa-spinner);
B-->E(A fa:fa-camerra-retro perhaps?);
渲染圖如下:
graph TD
B["fa:fa-twitter for peace"]
B-->C[fa:fa-ban forbidden]
B-->D(fa:fa-spinner);
B-->E(A fa:fa-camera-retro perhaps?);

第二部分—圖表(graph)
定義連接線的樣式
graph LR
id1(Start)-->id2(Stop)
style id1 fill:#f9f,stroke:#333,stroke-width:4px;
style id2 fill:#ccf,stroke:#f66,stroke-width:2px,stroke-dasharray:5,5;
渲染結果:

graph LR
id1(Start)-->id2(Stop)
style id1 fill:#f9f,stroke:#333,stroke-width:4px;
style id2 fill:#ccf,stroke:#f66,stroke-width:2px,stroke-dasharray:5,5;
備注:這些樣式參考CSS樣式。
樣式類
為了方便樣式的使用,可以定義類來使用樣式
類的定義示例:
classDef className fill:#f9f,stroke:#333,stroke-width:4px;
對節點使用樣式類:
class nodeId className;
同時對多個節點使用相同的樣式類:
class nodeId1,nodeId2 className;
可以在CSS中提前定義樣式類,應用在圖表的定義中。
graph LR
A-->B[AAABBB];
B-->D;
class A cssClass;
默認樣式類:\
當沒有指定樣式的時候,默認采用。
classDef default fill:#f9f,stroke:#333,stroke-width:4px;
示例:
graph LR
classDef default fill:#f90,stroke:#555,stroke-width:4px;
id1(Start)-->id2(Stop)
結果:
graph LR
classDef default fill:#f90,stroke:#555,stroke-width:4px;
id1(Start)-->id2(Stop)
序列圖(sequence diagram)1
示例:
sequenceDiagram
Alice->>John: Hello John, how are you ?
John-->>Alice: Great!
Alice--->>John: Huang,you are better .
John-->>Alice: yeah, Just not bad.
sequenceDiagram
Alice->>John: Hello John, how are you ?
John-->>Alice: Great!
Alice->>John: Hung,you are better .
John-->>Alice: yeah, Just not bad.
觀察上面的圖,如果想讓John出現在前面,如何控制,mermaid通過設定參與者(participants)的順序控制二者的順序。上面的圖可以做如下修改:
sequenceDiagram\
participant John\
participant Alice\
Alice->>John:Hello John,how are you?\
John–>>Alice:Great!
sequenceDiagram
participant John
participant Alice
Alice-xJohn:Hello John,how are you?
John-->>Alice:Great!
消息的語法:
實線或者虛線的使用:
[Actor][Arrow][Actor]:Message text\
Arrow的六種樣式:
- ->
- –>
- ->>
- –>>
- -x
- –x
示例:
sequenceDiagram
Alice->John: Hello John, how are you ?
John-->Alice:Great!
Alice->>John: dont borther me !
John-->>Alice:Great!
Alice-xJohn: wait!
John--xAlice: Ok!

便簽
給序列圖增加便簽:\
具體規則:\
[right of | left of | over][Actor]:Text\
示例:
sequenceDiagram
participant John
Note left of John: Text in note
結果:

跨越兩個Actor的便簽:
sequenceDiagram
Alice->John:Hello John, how are you?
Note over Alice,John:A typical interaction
sequenceDiagram
Alice->>John:Hello John, how are you?
Note over Alice,John:A typical interaction

循環Loops
在序列圖中,也可以使用循環,具體規則如下:
loop Loop text
... statements...
end
示例:
sequenceDiagram
Alice->>John: Hello!
loop Reply every minute
John->>Alice:Great!
end
渲染結果:

選擇ALT
在序列圖中選擇的表達。規則如下:
alt Describing text
...statements...
else
...statements...
end
或者使用opt(推薦在沒有else的情況下使用)
opt Describing text
...statements...
end
示例:
sequenceDiagram
Alice->>Bob: Hello Bob, how are you?
alt is sick
Bob->>Alice:not so good :(
else is well
Bob->>Alice:Feeling fresh like a daisy:)
end
opt Extra response
Bob->>Alice:Thanks for asking
end
渲染結果如下:

甘特圖(gantt)2
甘特圖是一類條形圖,由Karol Adamiechi在1896年提出, 而在1910年Henry Gantt也獨立的提出了此種圖形表示。通常用在對項目終端元素和總結元素的開始及完成時間進行的描述。
示例:
gantt
dateFormat YYYY-MM-DD
section S1
T1: 2014-01-01, 9d
section S2
T2: 2014-01-11, 9d
section S3
T3: 2014-01-02, 9d
gantt
dateFormat YYYY-MM-DD
section S1
T1: 2014-01-01, 9d
section S2
T2: 2014-01-11, 9d
section S3
T3: 2014-01-02, 9d

先來看一個大的例子:
gantt
dateFormat YYYY-MM-DD
title Adding GANTT diagram functionality to mermaid
section A section
Completed task :done, des1, 2014-01-06,2014-01-08
Active task :active, des2, 2014-01-09, 3d
Future task : des3, after des2, 5d
Future task2 : des4, after des3, 5d
section Critical tasks
Completed task in the critical line :crit, done, 2014-01-06,24h
Implement parser and jison :crit, done, after des1, 2d

獲得的圖渲染后如下:

| header 1 | header 2 |
|---|---|
| title | 標題 |
| dateFormat | 日期格式 |
| section | 模塊 |
| Completed | 已經完成 |
| Active | 當前正在進行 |
| Future | 后續待處理 |
| crit | 關鍵階段 |
| 日期缺失 | 默認從上一項完成后 |
關於日期的格式可以參考:
- string-format
- Time-Formatting
