title: "Mermaid"
description: "Create flowcharts, diagrams, and visualizations with Mermaid syntax."
keywords: ["Mermaid", "flowcharts", "diagrams"]
---
[Mermaid](https://mermaid.js.org/) lets you build flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, and other diagrams using text and code.
For a complete list of supported diagram types and syntax, see the [Mermaid documentation](https://mermaid.js.org/intro/).
```mermaid placement="top-right"
flowchart LR
subgraph subgraph1
direction TB
top1[top] --> bottom1[bottom]
end
subgraph subgraph2
direction TB
top2[top] --> bottom2[bottom]
end
%% ^ These subgraphs are identical, except for the links to them:
%% Link *to* subgraph1: subgraph1 direction is maintained
outside --> subgraph1
%% Link *within* subgraph2:
%% subgraph2 inherits the direction of the top-level graph (LR)
outside ---> top2
```

## Interactive controls
All Mermaid diagrams include interactive zoom and pan controls. By default, controls appear when the diagram height exceeds 120px.
- **Zoom in/out**: Use the zoom buttons to increase or decrease the diagram scale.
- **Pan**: Use the directional arrows to move around the diagram.
- **Reset view**: Click the reset button to return to the original view.
The controls are especially useful for large or complex diagrams that don't fit entirely in the viewport.
## Properties
<ResponseField name="actions" type="boolean">
Show or hide the interactive controls. When set, this overrides the default behavior (controls shown when diagram height exceeds 120px).
</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="placement" type="string" default="bottom-right">
Position of the interactive controls. Options: `top-left`, `top-right`, `bottom-left`, `bottom-right`.
</ResponseField>
### Examples
Hide controls on a diagram:
````mdx
```mermaid actions={false}
flowchart LR
A --> B
```
````
Show controls in the top-left corner:
````mdx
```mermaid placement="top-left"
flowchart LR
A --> B
```
````
Combine both properties:
````mdx
```mermaid placement="top-left" actions={true}
flowchart LR
A --> B
```
````
## Syntax
To create a Mermaid diagram, write your diagram definition inside a Mermaid code block.
````mdx
```mermaid
// Your mermaid diagram code here
```
