remark-mermaid-dataurl
A remark markdown plugin that renders mermaid markdown code into SVG data URLs using mermaid-cli.
Note:
This plugin is designed for Markdown to Markdown conversions, where keeping everything in a single file is required. The following plugins are more efficient in the majority of cases:
- Markdown → HTML: rehype-mermaidjs
- Markdown → Markdown with inline HTML: remark-mermaidjs
Example
Write your mermaid code in markdown using within code-blocks that start with
`mermaid
, as in below:````markdown Here is my example mermaid diagram in markdown:
stateDiagram-v2
[*] --> Still
Still --> [*]
Still --> Moving
Moving --> Still
Moving --> Crash
Crash --> [*]
````After running
remark-mermaid-dataurl
, the mermaid diagram within the
`mermaid
code block will be rendered into an SVG file, then inserted into the markdown
code as a
dataurl
(dataurl is truncated in the example, as they are quite large):````markdown Here is my example mermaid diagram in markdown:
// passing configFile or puppeteerConfigFile as an object will automatically be converted into a JSON
configFile: {
// see mermaid options at https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/Setup
theme: "forest",
},
puppeteerConfigFile: {
// see options at https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/docs/api.md#puppeteerlaunchoptions
product: "firefox" // use firefox instead of chrome
timeout: 60000, // change default puppeteer launch timeout
},
}
}
## Usage with Docusaurus
_see https://v2.docusaurus.io/docs/markdown-features#configuring-plugins for more info_
First, install this plugin:
```bash
npm install --save remark-mermaid-dataurl
Then, add them to your
@docusaurus/preset-classic
options in docusaurus.config.js
:module.exports = {
// ...
presets: [
[
"@docusaurus/preset-classic",
{
docs: {
// ...
remarkPlugins: [
require("remark-mermaid-dataurl"),
// options, // optional options here
],
},
},
],
],
};
Afterwards, any
`markdown
code blocks in your docusaurus docs folder
should automatically be converted into SVGs data URLs when running
npx docusaurus start
or npx docusuarus serve
.
