MermaidJs

MermaidJs is a popular diagramming tool that allows you to create diagrams using a simple text syntax. The GenAIScript mermaid plugin provides a way to parse and render Mermaid diagrams within your GenAIScript applications.

The @genaiscript/plugin-mermaid package supports parsing mermaid diagrams. This can be useful to repair diagrams created by LLMs.

Terminal window
npm i -D @genaiscript/plugin-mermaid

If you are using the plugin in a Node.JS environment, without a .genai... entry file, you will need to initialize the runtime before using the plugin:

import { initialize } from "@genaiscript/runtime";
await initialize()
import { parse } from "@genaiscript/plugin-mermaid";
const res = await parse(`
graph TD;
A-->B;
A-->C;
B-->D;
C-->D;
`);

The mermaid toolchain is meant to run in a browser environment, so it requires a bit of special work to make it work in Node.JS. Additionally, the mermaid package is quite large, so we decided to make it a plugin that you can install only if you need it.
