I am excited to share that Lucid has released the ability to create a diagram using mermaid code syntax! We support 8 different diagram types including: flowchart, sequence, class, state, C4, gantt, and entity relationship diagrams. Try it out for yourself or learn more here

You will still be able to create UML diagrams leveraging our UML markup features.

We’re definitely interested in this option. We use Lucid since long, but our developers want to maintain architecture primarily with Mermaid in a git-repo for obvious reason. While we are able to use these Mermaid-files in for example Confluence (with PlantUML), we miss possibilities to integrate with Lucidchart. The strength would to able to use different ways to diagram for different stakeholders. For me Lucid would ideally even function to enhance Mermaid-based diagrams.

 

  • Can read Mermaid and render it inside Lucid
  • Can be edited (while maintaining Mermaid style code) even if it’s just for positioning elements
  • Could export to Mermaid? (not sure we would even need this, we’re not looking to replace Lucid in any way :))

Sorry, missed the edit-option in previous comment!

Thanks Lucid for delivering this feature. Greatly appreciated to see it appear in Lucid 2 weeks ago! I’m happy with the initial delivery, however I already got feedback from my team asking for integration with GIT. It’s never done, is it :) So basically, render files from a repo.

Hi @PascalO, thank you for letting us know how it’s going! We’re all ears for your feedback now that this feature is live. Would you possibly be willing to create this as a new feature request in our Product Feedback space? This will allow us to better manage this specific enhancement and share updates on it. Thanks again for all your time spent helping us improve!

Very nice. Will be testing this soon. Mermaid + GitHub integration would be sweet.

Hi everyone! 

I’m a product manager on a team that’s working on our Mermaid feature within Lucidchart.

I’d appreciate hearing more of your Mermaid feedback on this Lucid Community Post! Also, I’d love to chat directly with you more about how you’d like to use Mermaid in Lucid. Email me at egrundvig@lucidchart.com and we’ll get some time set up!
