Compatibility

The library targets .NET Standard 2.1, that is notably compatible with .NET Core 3.0 and later, .NET 5.0 and later, and Mono 6.4 and later.

See details on the package frameworks tab on nuget.org or on Microsoft Learn.

Quick Start

The following code samples show how to create a simple Mermaid diagram of each implemented diagram type.

Flowchart

string diagram = Mermaid
    .Flowchart()
    .AddNode("N1", out var n1)
    .AddNode("N2", out var n2)
    .AddNode("N3", out var n3)
    .AddLink(n1, n2, "some text")
    .AddLink(n2, n3)
    .Build();

Sequence diagram

string diagram = Mermaid
    .SequenceDiagram()
    .AddParticipant("Alice", out var a)
    .AddParticipant("Bob", out var b)
    .SendMessage(a, b, $"Hello {b.Name}!")
    .SendMessage(b, a, $"Hello {a.Name}!")
    .Build();

Class diagram

var diagram = Mermaid
    .ClassDiagram()
    .AddClass("Animal", out var animal)
    .AddClass("Dog", out var dog)
    .AddProperty(animal, "int", "Age")
    .AddMethod(animal, null, "Breathe")
    .AddMethod(animal, "void", "Eat", parameters: 
    [
        ("Food", "food")
    ])
    .AddMethod(dog, "Sound", "Bark", parameters: 
    [
        ("int", "times"),
        ("int", "volume")
    ])
    .AddRelationship(animal, dog, RelationshipType.Inheritance, label: "A dog is an animal")
    .Build();

State diagram

var diagram = Mermaid
    .StateDiagram()
    .AddState("State 1", out var s1)
    .AddState("State 2", out var s2)
    .AddTransitionFromStart(s1)
    .AddStateTransition(s1, s2)
    .AddTransitionToEnd(s2)
    .Build();

Entity relationship diagram

string diagram = Mermaid
    .EntityRelationshipDiagram()
    .AddEntity("Customer", out var c)
    .AddEntity("Order", out var o)
    .AddEntity("Product", out var p)
    .AddRelationship(Cardinality.ExactlyOne, c, Cardinality.ZeroOrMore, o, "places")
    .AddRelationship(Cardinality.ExactlyOne, o, Cardinality.OneOrMore, p, "contains")
    .Build();

User journey diagram

var diagram = Mermaid
    .UserJourneyDiagram()
    .AddTask("Task 1", 1, "Actor 1", "Actor 2")
    .AddTask("Task 2", 2)
    .AddSection("Section 1")
    .AddTask("Task 3", 3)
    .AddTask("Task 4", 4, "Actor 3")
    .AddSection("Section 2")
    .AddTask("Task 5", 5, "Actor 1", "Actor 3")
    .AddTask("Task 6", 6, "Actor 2")
    .Build();

Gantt diagram

string diagram = Mermaid
    .GanttDiagram()
    .AddTask("Foo", Date("2024-05-01"), Date("2024-05-05"), out _)
    .AddTask("Bar", Date("2024-05-08"), Date("2024-05-12"), out _)
    .Build();

Pie chart

var pieChart = Mermaid
    .PieChart()
    .AddDataSet("Label1", 42.7)
    .AddDataSet("Label2", 57.3)
    .Build();

Quadrant chart

var quadrantChart = Mermaid
    .QuadrantChart()
    .AddPoint("A", 0.1, 0.2)
    .AddPoint("B", 0.3, 0.4)
    .Build();

Timeline diagram

string diagram = Mermaid
    .TimelineDiagram("Some title")
    .AddEvents("2021", "Event 1", "Event 2")
    .AddEvents("2022", "Event 3")
    .AddEvents("2023", "Event 4", "Event 5", "Event 6")
    .Build();
