Upgrade to V10

[SonephetR2]

Chanced upon this bit on Hacker News today : V10 was just released and is now "70% smaller (<100 kB gzipped), with lazy loaded diagrams, fully async rendering and parsing, cleaner internals" (quoting the maintainer here). I thought I'd drop you a line. Thanks for the very useful plugin :)

That would be very nice, because Mermaid added "Timeline".
Thanks also from me

If upgrading to v10 gets "Timeline" added that would be wonderful.

Thanks for the comments. The new version 10 of Mermaid has a significant change (ESM), and the min.js file is no longer available. As a consequence the existing code no longer works with the new version, and needs to be re-written. Since I didn't make the plugin, I have no idea how to do this. It's a shame, but apparently it's the end of the line for Mermaid-TW5 in this repo. Maybe someone with more experience can change it in the future. For now we can consider this repo as dead.

Some references:

• Switch to ESM only for v10? mermaid-js/mermaid#3590
• mermaid 10 is incompatible fralau/mkdocs-mermaid2-plugin#70

Will mermaid-js/mermaid#4281 solve the issue?

[efurlanm]

Thanks for the comment. Yes, #4281 will likely resolve the issue. As a curiosity, version 10.0.3-alpha.1 (https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mermaid@10.0.3-alpha.1/dist/mermaid.min.js) was the last one containing min.js .

Good news. There is now the 10.2.0-rc.2 UMD package. I tested it on TW 5.2.7 and unfortunately it didn't work, nor did 10.0.3-alpha.1. The last one that works is 9.4.3.

Another point that was not mentioned before is that until 9.3.0 the size of mermaid.min.js is 0.9 MB, and from 9.4.0 to 10.2 the size jumped to 2.7 MB (3 times increase) . The size of empty vanilla TW 5.2.7 (empty.html) is 2.3 MB, ie mermaid.min.js is bigger than TW itself, making it a huge orverhead. For the newer versions of mermaid I have my doubts whether another workflow wouldn't be better, such as not using the plugin and keeping only the mermaid source code in TW, using https://mermaid.live to generate the figures and save them, for example in svg, and then use svg in TW.

[Drevarr]

That is a massive size increase, I think you are correct if the size stays it is time to look for an alternative.

@efurlanm I'm using Bob for advanced Tiddly so the size is not a problem anymore. I provided you with the links to the latest Min.js, could you try to make them work ?

Unfortunately I haven't been able to get the new versions to work yet. It will probably be necessary to change the code and I don't have the necessary skills.

[Kochise]

Seems like there is a bug in the 10.9.0 :

mermaid-js/mermaid#5383
mermaid-js/mermaid#5362

Try with the 10.8.0 version.

I don't care about the "overhead", I'm using Bob anyway :
