mermaid-cli

Render mermaid chart description files to PNG or SVG.

DEPRECATION NOTICE

As of mermaid v0.3.0 this package has been merged into mermaid core. Please do an npm install -g mermaid to get the mermaid CLI functionality. This package will see no further updates, and any new features will be added directly into mermaid.

Installation

Install the module globally to expose the mermaid command to your environment.

npm install -g mermaid-cli

Usage

$ mermaid --help

Usage: mermaid [options] <file>...

file    The mermaid description file to be rendered

Options:
  -s --svg          Output SVG instead of PNG (experimental)
  -p --png          If SVG was selected, and you also want PNG, set this flag
  -o --outputDir    Directory to save files, will be created automatically, defaults to `cwd`
  -h --help         Show this message
  -v --verbose      Show logging
  --version         Print version and quit

Known Issues

  • SVG output currently does some replacement on text, as mermaid's output is only appropriate for browsers. Text color and background color is not yet replicated; please use PNGs for most purposes until this is resolved.
  • SVG output is decidedly non-standard. It works, but may cause issues in some viewers.
