Usage

Mermaid UML Diagrams

Please make sure the Jira Server can connect to https://app-nwtmwlxsha-uk.a.run.app. We use this Web Service to render the diagrams.

This app renders Mermaid UML diagrams inside Jira Wiki Editor. The Mermaid UML content must be wrapped inside the {uml}…{uml} macro. For Jira 7+, the macros have to be used in Text mode and not Visual mode.

Mermaid (https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/) allows you to define UML diagrams in plain-text format just like Markdown. For a live editor to draft your diagrams, please try https://mermaidjs.github.io/mermaid-live-editor.

As an example, after the app is installed, please paste the following text into Issue Description:

{uml}
sequenceDiagram
    participant Alice
    participant Bob
    Alice->>John: Hello John, how are you?
    loop Healthcheck
        John->>John: Fight against hypochondria
    end
    Note right of John: Rational thoughts <br />prevail!
    John-->>Alice: Great!
    John->>Bob: How about you?
    Bob-->>John: Jolly good!
{uml}

For Jira 7+, the macros have to be used in Text mode and not Visual mode.

  a -- c;
  d -- c;
