With the Mermaid app, you can easily create code-based diagrams inside Miro.
How to install the app
You can install the app from Miro Marketplace or by following this link. You can also install the app by simply adding it to the Creation toolbar as shown below. You’ll need to select a Miro team to complete the installation.
⚠️ Non-admin users can’t install apps if this is not allowed in team settings.
Creating diagrams and adding them to Miro boards
As you install the app, you'll see it on your Creation toolbar.
The app has a default sample code. As you change the code to build your diagram, the diagram is refreshed in the preview area on the right.
Changing a diagram code
The Mermaid app has several sample diagrams available at the bottom left corner - you can choose one of these and then customize it for your needs.
Change the size of the code editor pane by dragging it from its right edge.
