What types of diagrams can I create using Mermaid syntax?

Mermaid syntax supports creating Flowcharts, Sequence Diagrams, Class Diagrams, State Diagrams, and ER Diagrams. These cover business processes, data models, decision trees, and system architectures for quick embedding in Markdown docs.

Do I need the Mermaid CLI to export diagrams to SVG or PNG?

You need the Mermaid CLI installed to export diagrams to SVG or PNG files. You can install it via npm and run the command to convert your text files into graphic images for inclusion in your documentation.

Can I embed Mermaid diagrams directly in Markdown documentation?

You can embed Mermaid diagrams directly in Markdown by including Mermaid code blocks within your documents. This allows for easy sharing and quick visualization of workflows and data models without generating separate image files.

What is the best way to visualize data models and relationships without drawing?

The best way to visualize data models without drawing is using Mermaid to generate Class and ER diagrams from plain text. This lightweight syntax represents architectures and relationships human-readably, replacing verbose manual illustrations.
