# Getting Started with Mermaid

Mermaid lets you create diagrams using text and code, making documentation easier and more maintainable. This guide will introduce you to Mermaid's capabilities and how to begin using it.

## Introduction to Mermaid

Mermaid simplifies the process of generating diagrams like flowcharts, sequence diagrams, class diagrams, and more, all from text descriptions.

## How to Use Mermaid

To use Mermaid, you typically need a platform that supports it (like GitHub or GitLab) or use it within Markdown editors that have Mermaid integration.

### Basic Syntax

Mermaid diagrams are defined using a special syntax code block in Markdown files:

```mermaid
graph TD;
    A-->B;
    A-->C;
    B-->D;
    C-->D;
```

Remove the backslash `\` before the backticks to use this in your Markdown. This example creates a simple flowchart.

## Diagram Types

Mermaid supports various diagram types. Here are some of the most common ones:

### 1. Flowcharts

Create flowcharts to visualize processes and workflows.

```mermaid
graph LR;
    A[Start] --> B{Decision};
    B -->|Yes| C[Do Something with Melodi];
    B -->|No| D[Do Something Else];
    C --> E[End];
    D --> E;
```

### 2. Sequence Diagrams

Sequence diagrams are perfect for showing interactions between actors in a system.

```mermaid
sequenceDiagram;
    participant A as User;
    participant B as System;
    A->>B: Request;
    B->>A: Response;
```

### 3. Gantt Charts

Gantt charts help in visualizing project schedules.

```mermaid
gantt
    title A Gantt Chart
    dateFormat  YYYY-MM-DD
    section Section
    A task           :a1, 2024-01-01, 30d
    Another task     :after a1  , 20d
```

### 4. Class Diagrams

Class diagrams are useful for representing the structure of a system.

```mermaid
classDiagram
    class MyClass {
        +publicMethod()
        -privateMethod()
    }
```

## Customization

Mermaid allows you to customize your diagrams with styles and colors.

```mermaid
graph TD;
    A-->B;
    style A fill:#f9f,stroke:#333,stroke-width:4px
    style B fill:#bbf,stroke:#f66,stroke-width:2px
```

## Conclusion

Mermaid is a powerful tool for creating diagrams directly within your Markdown documents. By learning its syntax and exploring different diagram types, you can enhance your documentation with visual elements that are easy to maintain and update. For more detailed information and advanced features, refer to the [Mermaid Documentation](https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/).

# Mermaid Syntax Guide

Mermaid allows you to create diagrams using text-based syntax. It's versatile and can be used for various types of diagrams. Here's a quick reference guide.

## Basic Structure

Start a Mermaid diagram with triple backticks, followed by `mermaid`, and close with triple backticks.

```mermaid
graph TD;
    A-->B;
```

## Diagram Types

### Flowchart

Use `graph TD;` (top-down), `graph LR;` (left-right), `graph RL;` (right-left), or `graph BT;` (bottom-top) to set direction.

```mermaid
graph TD;
    A-->B;
    B-->C;
    C-->D;
```

### Sequence Diagram

Defines how processes interact with each other.

```mermaid
sequenceDiagram;
    participant A;
    participant B;
    A->>B: Request;
    B->>A: Response;
```
## Gantt Chart

```mermaid
gantt
    title A Gantt Diagram
    dateFormat  YYYY-MM-DD
    section Section
    A task           :a1, 2022-01-01, 30d
```

## Class Diagram

```mermaid
classDiagram
    Class01 <|-- AveryLongClass : Inheritance
    Class03 *-- Class04 : Association
    Class05 .. Class06 : Aggregation
    Class07 --|> Class08 : Composition
```

## State Diagram

```mermaid
stateDiagram-v2
    [*] --> Active
    Active --> Inactive
    Active --> [*]
```

## Pie Chart

Pie charts are not supported in some versions of Mermaid. If your renderer supports them, the syntax usually looks like this, but it's less commonly used and might not work in all environments:

```mermaid
pie
    title Pets adopted by volunteers
    "Dogs" : 386
    "Cats" : 85
    "Rabbits" : 15
```

## Styling

Apply styles using `classDef` and `class`.

```mermaid
graph TD;
    A-->B;
    classDef someclass fill:#f9f,stroke:#333,stroke-width:4px;
    class A someclass;
```

## Links

Add clickable links to nodes.

```mermaid
graph TD;
    A-->B;
    click A href "http://example.com" "Tooltip";
```

Use this guide as a starting point for creating your diagrams. Mermaid's syntax is powerful and flexible, allowing for complex and detailed visualizations.
