Mermaid Extension
This is a fork of github-mermaid-extension. The original repo hasn't been updated for a while, which called for action.
The benefit of regular updates that the exact same diagrams as being generated on the mermaid-live-editor to be used in the MD files you use in GitHub.
More About the mermaid syntax here.
With in any md file, all blocks starting with ```mermaid will render a diagram instead of showing code. An example for the following state diagram would be rendered as such.
```mermaid
stateDiagram
[*] --> Still
Still --> [*]
Still --> Moving
Moving --> Still
Moving --> Crash
Crash --> [*]
```
A direct competitor to mermaid is the already matured plant UML but the much younger mermaid has the unpreceded advantage of being a local only javascript code which is imposible to compromise corporate data, since it works offline, just like this browser extension.
Currently mermaid supports Flow, Gantt and Pie Chart as well as Sequence, Class, State, and ER diagrams.
