<!--Overview-->
|
||||
|
||||
This guide shows you how to create, edit and share diagrams using the Mermaid Javascript library. Mermaid.js allows you to generate diagrams using a simple markdown-like syntax inside Markdown files. You can also use Mermaid to generate `.svg` or `.png` image files that you can add to your documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
The target audience for this guide is anybody wishing to learn about Mermaid and/or how to create and add diagrams to Kubernetes documentation.

Figure 1. Topics covered in this section.
|
||||
|
||||
All you need to begin working with Mermaid is the following:
|
||||
|
||||
* Basic understanding of markdown.
|
||||
* Using the Mermaid live editor.
|
||||
* Using [Hugo shortcodes](/docs/contribute/style/hugo-shortcodes/).
|
||||
* Using the [Hugo {{</* figure */>}} shortcode](https://gohugo.io/content-management/shortcodes/#figure).
|
||||
* Performing [Hugo local previews](https://kubernetes.io/docs/contribute/new-content/open-a-pr/#preview-locally).
|
||||
* Familiar with the [Contributing new content](/docs/contribute/new-content/) process.
|

|
||||
## Why you should use diagrams in documentation
|
||||
|
||||
Diagrams improve documentation clarity and comprehension. There are advantages for both the user and the contributor.
|
||||
|
||||
The user benefits include:
|
||||
|
||||
* __Friendly landing spot__. A detailed text-only greeting page could intimidate users, in particular, first-time Kubernetes users.
|
||||
* __Faster grasp of concepts__. A diagram can help users understand the key points of a complex topic. Your diagram can serve as a visual learning guide to dive into the topic details.
|
||||
* __Better retention__. For some, it is easier to recall pictures rather than text.
|
||||
|
||||
The contributor benefits include:
|
||||
|
||||
* __Assist in developing the structure and content__ of your contribution. For example, you can start with a simple diagram covering the high-level points and then dive into details.
|
||||
* __Expand and grow the user community__. Easily consumed documentation augmented with diagrams attracts new users who might previously have been reluctant to engage due to perceived complexities.
|
||||
|
||||
You should consider your target audience. In addition to experienced K8s users, you will have many who are new to Kubernetes. Even a simple diagram can assist new users in absorbing Kubernetes concepts. They become emboldened and more confident to further explore Kubernetes and the documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Mermaid
|
||||
|
||||
[Mermaid](https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/) is an open source JavaScript library that allows you to create, edit and easily share diagrams using a simple, markdown-like syntax configured inline in Markdown files.
|
||||
|
||||
The following lists features of Mermaid:
|
||||
|
||||
* Simple code syntax.
|
||||
* Includes a web-based tool allowing you to code and preview your diagrams.
|
||||
* Supports multiple formats including flowchart, state and sequence.
|
||||
* Easy collaboration with colleagues by sharing a per-diagram URL.
|
||||
* Broad selection of shapes, lines, themes and styling.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The following lists advantages of using Mermaid:
|
||||
|
||||
* No need for separate, non-Mermaid diagram tools.
|
||||
* Adheres to existing PR workflow. You can think of Mermaid code as just Markdown text included in your PR.
|
||||
* Simple tool builds simple diagrams. You don't want to get bogged down (re)crafting an overly complex and detailed picture. Keep it simple!
|
||||
|
||||
Mermaid provides a simple, open and transparent method for the SIG communities to add, edit and collaborate on diagrams for new or existing documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
{{< note >}}
|
||||
You can still use Mermaid to create/edit diagrams even if it's not supported in your environment. This method is called __Mermaid+SVG__ and is explained below.
|
||||
{{< /note >}}
|
||||
|
||||
### Live editor
|
||||
|
||||
The [Mermaid live editor](https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid-live-editor) is a web-based tool that enables you to create, edit and review diagrams.
|
||||
|
||||
The following lists live editor functions:
|
||||
|
||||
* Displays Mermaid code and rendered diagram.
|
||||
* Generates a URL for each saved diagram. The URL is displayed in the URL field of your browser. You can share the URL with colleagues who can access and modify the diagram.
|
||||
* Option to download `.svg` or `.png` files.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
{{< note >}}
|
||||
The live editor is the easiest and fastest way to create and edit Mermaid diagrams.

Figure 3. Inline Method steps.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The following lists the steps you should follow for adding a diagram using the Inline method:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create your diagram using the live editor.
|
||||
2. Store the diagram URL somewhere for later access.
|
||||
3. Copy the mermaid code to the location in your `.md` file where you want the diagram to appear.
|
||||
4. Add a caption below the diagram using Markdown text.
|
||||
|
||||
A Hugo build runs the Mermaid code and turns it into a diagram.
|
||||
{{< note >}}
|
||||
You may find keeping track of diagram URLs is cumbersome. If so, make a note in the `.md` file that the Mermaid code is self-documenting. Contributors can copy the Mermaid code to and from the live editor for diagram edits.
|
||||
{{< /note >}}
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a sample code snippet contained in an `.md` file:
|
||||

```
|

{{< note >}}
|
||||
You must include the `{{</* mermaid */>}}`, `{{</* /mermaid */>}}` shortcode tags at the start and end of the Mermaid code block. You should add a diagram caption below the diagram.
|
||||
{{< /note >}}
|
||||
|
||||
For more details on diagram captions, see [How to use captions](#how-to-use-captions).
|
||||
|
||||
The following lists advantages of the Inline method:
|
||||
|
||||
* Live editor tool.
|
||||
* Easy to copy Mermaid code to and from the live editor and your `.md` file.
|
||||
* No need for separate `.svg` image file handling.
|
||||
* Content text, diagram code and diagram caption contained in the same `.md` file.
|
||||
|
||||
You should use the [local](https://kubernetes.io/docs/contribute/new-content/open-a-pr/#preview-locally) and Netlify previews to verify the diagram is properly rendered.
|
||||
|
||||
{{< caution >}}
|
||||
The Mermaid live editor feature set may not support the K8s/website Mermaid feature set. You might see a syntax error or a blank screen after the Hugo build. If that is the case, consider using the Mermaid+SVG method.

Figure 4. Mermaid+SVG method steps.
|
||||
|
||||
The following lists the steps you should follow for adding a diagram using the Mermaid+SVG method:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create your diagram using the live editor.
|
||||
2. Store the diagram URL somewhere for later access.
|
||||
3. Generate an `.svg` image file for the diagram and download it to the appropriate `images/` folder.
|
||||
4. Use the `{{</* figure */>}}` shortcode to reference the diagram in the `.md` file.
|
||||
5. Add a caption using the `{{</* figure */>}}` shortcode's `caption` parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, use the live editor to create a diagram called `boxnet`. Store the diagram URL somewhere for later access. Generate and download a `boxnet.svg` file to the appropriate `../images/` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `{{</* figure */>}}` shortcode in your PR's `.md` file to reference the `.svg` image file and add a caption.
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{{</* figure src="/static/images/boxnet.svg" alt="Boxnet figure" class="diagram-large" caption="Figure 14. Boxnet caption" */>}}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For more details on diagram captions, see [How to use captions](#how-to-use-captions).
|
||||
|
||||
{{< note >}}
|
||||
The `{{</* figure */>}}` shortcode is the preferred method for adding `.svg` image files to your documentation. You can also use the standard markdown image syntax like so: ``. And you will need to add a caption below the diagram.
|
||||
{{< /note >}}
|
||||
|
||||
You should add the live editor URL as a comment block in the `.svg` image file using a text editor. For example, you would include the following at the beginning of the `.svg` image file:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
<!-- To view or edit the mermaid code, use the following URL: -->
|
||||
<!-- https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid-live-editor/edit/#eyJjb ... <remainder of the URL> -->
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The following lists advantages of the Mermaid+SVG method:
|
||||
|
||||
* Live editor tool.
|
||||
* Live editor tool supports the most current Mermaid feature set.
|
||||
* Employ existing K8s/website methods for handling `.svg` image files.
|
||||
* Environment doesn't require Mermaid support.
|
||||
|
||||
Be sure to check that your diagram renders properly using the [local](https://kubernetes.io/docs/contribute/new-content/open-a-pr/#preview-locally) and Netlify previews.
|
||||
|
||||
### External tool
|
||||
|
||||
Figure 5 outlines the steps to follow for adding a diagram using the External Tool method.
|
||||
|
||||
First, use your external tool to create the diagram and save it as an `.svg` or `.png` image file. After that, use the same steps as the __Mermaid+SVG__ method for adding `.svg` image files.

Figure 5. External Tool method steps
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The following lists the steps you should follow for adding a diagram using the External Tool method:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Use your external tool to create a diagram.
|
||||
2. Save the diagram coordinates for contributor access. For example, your tool may offer a link to the diagram image, or you could place the source code file, such as an `.xml` file, in a public repository for later contributor access.
|
||||
3. Generate and save the diagram as an `.svg` or `.png` image file. Download this file to the appropriate `../images/` folder.
|
||||
4. Use the `{{</* figure */>}}` shortcode to reference the diagram in the `.md` file.
|
||||
5. Add a caption using the `{{</* figure */>}}` shortcode's `caption` parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is the `{{</* figure */>}}` shortcode for the `images/apple.svg` diagram:
|
||||
```text
|
||||
{{</* figure src="/static/images/apple.svg" alt="red-apple-figure" class="diagram-large" caption="Figure 9. A Big Red Apple" */>}}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If your external drawing tool permits:
|
||||
|
||||
* You can incorporate multiple `.svg` or `.png` logos, icons and images into your diagram. However, make sure you observe copyright and follow the Kubernetes documentation
|
||||
[guidelines](/docs/contribute/style/content-guide/) on the use of third party content.
|
||||
* You should save the diagram source coordinates for later contributor access. For example, your tool may offer a link to the diagram image, or you could place the source code file, such as an `.xml` file, somewhere for contributor access.
|
||||
|
||||
For more information on K8s and CNCF logos and images, check out [CNCF Artwork](https://github.com/cncf/artwork).
|
||||
|
||||
The following lists advantages of the External Tool method:
|
||||
|
||||
* Contributor familiarity with external tool.
|
||||
* Diagrams require more detail than what Mermaid can offer.
|
||||
|
||||
Don't forget to check that your diagram renders correctly using the [local](https://kubernetes.io/docs/contribute/new-content/open-a-pr/#preview-locally) and Netlify previews.
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
This section shows several examples of Mermaid diagrams.
|
||||
|
||||
{{< note >}}
|
||||
The code block examples omit the Hugo `{{</* mermaid */>}}`, `{{</* /mermaid */>}}` shortcode tags. This allows you to copy the code block into the live editor to experiment on your own. Note that the live editor doesn't recognize Hugo shortcodes.

## How to style diagrams
|
||||
|
||||
You can style one or more diagram elements using well-known CSS nomenclature. You accomplish this using two types of statements in the Mermaid code.
|
||||
|
||||
* `classDef` defines a class of style attributes.
|
||||
* `class` defines one or more elements to apply the class to.
|
||||
|
||||
In the code for [figure 7](https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid-live-editor/edit/#eyJjb2RlIjoiZ3JhcGggIExSXG4gIGNsaWVudChbY2xpZW50XSktLiBJbmdyZXNzLW1hbmFnZWQgPGJyPiBsb2FkIGJhbGFuY2VyIC4tPmluZ3Jlc3NbSW5ncmVzc107XG4gIGluZ3Jlc3MtLT58cm91dGluZyBydWxlfHNlcnZpY2VbU2VydmljZV07XG4gIHN1YmdyYXBoIGNsdXN0ZXJcbiAgaW5ncmVzcztcbiAgc2VydmljZS0tPnBvZDFbUG9kXTtcbiAgc2VydmljZS0tPnBvZDJbUG9kXTtcbiAgZW5kXG4gIGNsYXNzRGVmIHBsYWluIGZpbGw6I2RkZCxzdHJva2U6I2ZmZixzdHJva2Utd2lkdGg6NHB4LGNvbG9yOiMwMDA7XG4gIGNsYXNzRGVmIGs4cyBmaWxsOiMzMjZjZTUsc3Ryb2tlOiNmZmYsc3Ryb2tlLXdpZHRoOjRweCxjb2xvcjojZmZmO1xuICBjbGFzc0RlZiBjbHVzdGVyIGZpbGw6I2ZmZixzdHJva2U6I2JiYixzdHJva2Utd2lkdGg6MnB4LGNvbG9yOiMzMjZjZTU7XG4gIGNsYXNzIGluZ3Jlc3Msc2VydmljZSxwb2QxLHBvZDIgazhzO1xuICBjbGFzcyBjbGllbnQgcGxhaW47XG4gIGNsYXNzIGNsdXN0ZXIgY2x1c3RlcjtcbiIsIm1lcm1haWQiOiJ7XG4gIFwidGhlbWVcIjogXCJkZWZhdWx0XCJcbn0iLCJ1cGRhdGVFZGl0b3IiOmZhbHNlLCJhdXRvU3luYyI6dHJ1ZSwidXBkYXRlRGlhZ3JhbSI6dHJ1ZX0), you can see examples of both.
|
||||
```
|
||||
classDef k8s fill:#326ce5,stroke:#fff,stroke-width:4px,color:#fff; // defines style for the k8s class
|
||||
class ingress,service,pod1,pod2 k8s; // k8s class is applied to elements ingress, service, pod1 and pod2.
|
||||
```
|
||||
You can include one or multiple `classDef` and `class` statements in your diagram. You can also use the official K8s `#326ce5` hex color code for K8s components in your diagram.
|
||||
|
||||
For more information on styling and classes, see [Mermaid Styling and classes docs](https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/flowchart?id=styling-and-classes).
|
||||
|
||||
## How to use captions
|
||||
|
||||
A caption is a brief description of a diagram. A title or a short description of the diagram are examples of captions. Captions aren't meant to replace explanatory text you have in your documentation. Rather, they serve as a "context link" between that text and your diagram.
|
||||
|
||||
The combination of some text and a diagram tied together with a caption help provide a concise representation of the information you wish to convey to the user.
|
||||
|
||||
Without captions, you are asking the user to scan the text above or below the diagram to figure out a meaning. This can be frustrating for the user.
|
||||
|
||||
Figure 9 lays out the three components for proper captioning: diagram, diagram caption and the diagram referral.

Figure 9. Caption Components.
|
||||
|
||||
{{< note >}}
|
||||
You should always add a caption to each diagram in your documentation.
|
||||
{{< /note >}}
|
||||
|
||||
**Diagram**
|
||||
|
||||
The `Mermaid+SVG` and `External Tool` methods generate `.svg` image files.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is the `{{</* figure */>}}` shortcode for the diagram defined in an `.svg` image file saved to `/images/docs/components-of-kubernetes.svg`:
|
||||
```text
|
||||
{{</* figure src="/images/docs/components-of-kubernetes.svg" alt="Kubernetes pod running inside a cluster" class="diagram-large" caption="Figure 4. Kubernetes Architecture Components */>}}
|
||||
```
|
||||
You should pass the `src`, `alt`, `class` and `caption` values into the `{{</* figure */>}}` shortcode. You can adjust the size of the diagram using `diagram-large`, `diagram-medium` and `diagram-small` classes.
|
||||
|
||||
{{< note >}}
|
||||
Diagrams created using the `Inline` method don't use the `{{</* figure */>}}` shortcode. The Mermaid code defines how the diagram will render on your page.
|
||||
{{< /note >}}
|
||||
|
||||
See [Methods for creating diagrams](#methods-for-creating-diagrams) for more information on the different methods for creating diagrams.
|
||||
|
||||
**Diagram Caption**
|
||||
|
||||
Next, add a diagram caption.
|
||||
|
||||
If you define your diagram in an `.svg` image file, then you should use the `{{</* figure */>}}` shortcode's `caption` parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
{{</* figure src="/images/docs/components-of-kubernetes.svg" alt="Kubernetes pod running inside a cluster" class="diagram-large" caption="Figure 4. Kubernetes Architecture Components" */>}}
|
||||
```
|
||||
If you define your diagram using inline Mermaid code, then you should use Markdown text.
|
||||
```text
|
||||
Figure 4. Kubernetes Architecture Components
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The following lists several items to consider when adding diagram captions:
|
||||
|
||||
* Use the `{{</* figure */>}}` shortcode to add a diagram caption for `Mermaid+SVG` and `External Tool` diagrams.
|
||||
* Use simple Markdown text to add a diagram caption for the `Inline` method.
|
||||
* Prepend your diagram caption with `Figure NUMBER.`. You must use `Figure` and the number must be unique for each diagram in your documentation page. Add a period after the number.
|
||||
* Add your diagram caption text after the `Figure NUMBER.` on the same line. You must puncuate the caption with a period. Keep the caption text short.
|
||||
* Position your diagram caption __BELOW__ your diagram.
|
||||
|
||||
**Diagram Referral**
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, you can add a diagram referral. This is used inside your text and should precede the diagram itself. It allows a user to connect your text with the associated diagram. The `Figure NUMBER` in your referral and caption must match.
|
||||
|
||||
You should avoid using spatial references such as `..the image below..` or `..the following figure ..`
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example of a diagram referral:
|
||||
```text
|
||||
Figure 10 depicts the components of the Kubernetes architecture. The control plane ...
|
||||
```
|
||||
Diagram referrals are optional and there are cases where they might not be suitable. If you are not sure, add a diagram referral to your text to see if it looks and sounds okay. When in doubt, use a diagram referral.
|
||||
|
||||
**Complete picture**
|
||||
|
||||
Figure 10 shows the Kubernetes Architecture diagram that includes the diagram, diagram caption and diagram referral. The `{{</* figure */>}}` shortcode renders the diagram, adds the caption and includes the optional `link` parameter so you can hyperlink the diagram. The diagram referral is contained in this paragraph.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is the `{{</* figure */>}}` shortcode for this diagram:
|
||||
```
|
||||
{{</* figure src="/images/docs/components-of-kubernetes.svg" alt="Kubernetes pod running inside a cluster" class="diagram-large" caption="Figure 10. Kubernetes Architecture." link="https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/components/" */>}}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
{{< figure src="/images/docs/components-of-kubernetes.svg" alt="Kubernetes pod running inside a cluster" class="diagram-large" caption="Figure 9. Kubernetes Architecture." link="https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/components/" >}}

|
||||
|
||||
## Tips
|
||||
|
||||
* Always use the live editor to create/edit your diagram.
|
||||
|
||||
* Always use Hugo local and Netlify previews to check out how the diagram appears in the documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
* Include diagram source pointers such as a URL, source code location, or indicate the code is self-documenting.
|
||||
|
||||
* Always use diagram captions.
|
||||
|
||||
* Very helpful to include the diagram `.svg` or `.png` image and/or Mermaid source code in issues and PRs.
|
||||
|
||||
* With the `Mermaid+SVG` and `External Tool` methods, use `.svg` image files because they stay sharp when you zoom in on the diagram.
|
||||
|
||||
* Best practice for `.svg` files is to load it into an SVG editing tool and use the
|
||||
“Convert text to paths” function. This ensures that the diagram renders the same on all systems, regardless of font availability and font rendering support.
|
||||
|
||||
* No Mermaid support for additional icons or artwork.
|
||||
|
||||
* Hugo Mermaid shortcodes don't work in the live editor.
|
||||
|
||||
* Any time you modify a diagram in the live editor, you __must save__ it to generate a new URL for the diagram.
|
||||
|
||||
* Click on the diagrams in this section to view the code and diagram rendering in the live editor.
|
||||
|
||||
* Look over the source code of this page, `diagram-guide.md`, for more examples.
|
||||
|
||||
* Check out the [Mermaid docs](https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/) for explanations and examples.
|
||||
|
||||
Most important, __Keep Diagrams Simple__. This will save time for you and fellow contributors, and allow for easier reading by new and experienced users.
