Nice! That's a massive size reduction!

I'm really against putting this in the mermaid package, because it will make the package bigger for everybody, even if they don't use the mermaid.tiny.min.js file, and it will add another file that we will never be able to get rid of without breaking backwards compatibility with CDNs.

I think this must go in a new package, maybe something like @mermaid-js/mermaid-tiny?


Two other recommendations that would be nice to fix, but not required:

  • Instead of changing src/diagrams/.../detector.ts, can't we just prevent adding mindmap and flowchart/elk in the the diagram-orchestration.ts file, e.g. modifying these lines of code:

    flowchartElk,
    flowchartV2,
    flowchart,
    mindmap,

    If ESBuild is smart enough, it should do tree shaking automatically, and it will have the same effect.

  • I think the error diagram needs a more human readable message in case somebody does try to use mindmap or flowchart-elk with mermaid-tiny. We have to assume that users might not even know they're using mermaid-tiny, e.g. if they're using a third-party Mermaid plugin.

The current unpacked size is 21MB, adding an extra 1MB to it is worth the tradeoff for not having to maintain and release another package. Moreover, this will only affect people using package managers, not actual end users.
Also, the compressed size increase would be few hundred KBs, which is negligible for our usecase.

Version Size Compressed
8.0.0 17.7 MB 3.4 MB
9.0.0 23.8 MB 5 MB
10.0.0 32.9 MB 6.5 MB
10.3.1 21.3 MB 4.5 MB
11.0.0-alpha.4 14.7 MB 4.2 MB

It will add another file that we will never be able to get rid of without breaking backwards compatibility with CDNs.

Now it's just a file, if we use a package, we'll have to maintain that in sync with mermaid, which is a bigger headache than having a file in the package with 0 active maintenance requirement.

I tried that first, the file size didn't change. But I was using a different approach then (not define). Let me try now.

It worked! ❤️
This simplifies it a lot.

That would be out of scope for this PR. I did try a POC, but the changes will be extensive.

Especially since we're not even registering the diagrams since 55266c4

I still don't agree with adding the mermaid.tiny.min.js file to the mermaid NPM package. It is something we might be stuck with forever, so I think it will actually add maintenance overhead. (I'm a bit worried that if Mermaid is still around 100 years in the future, this mermaid.tiny.min.js file will still be there, and we won't be able to get rid of it).

Would uploading this as a GitHub Release asset be a better idea (e.g. using something like https://docs.github.com/en/rest/releases/assets?apiVersion=2022-11-28)? This should be pretty easy to do (we just need to add another job in https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/blob/develop/.github/workflows/release-publish.yml). Since GitHub Releases don't have an @latest feature, we'd then be safe to remove it/change it if we ever want to.

Regardless of what we pick, since adding another entry-point to mermaid is a pretty major change, we should get @knsv's approval first (maybe also other mermaid maintainers?).

I think long-term, having it in a separate NPM package like @mermaid-js/mermaid-tiny would be the cleanest way of doing things, but you're right, there's no point in doing that now until we fully migrate the mermaid repo into a mono-repo, with automated releases/changelogs for each individual package.


That would be out of scope for this PR. I did try a POC, but the changes will be extensive.

That's fair! It would be a nice feature to have, especially if custom Mermaid plugins become more popular (although since it's not a breaking change, that would be a feature that can go directly into the develop branch!)

This could be a stop-gap measure till we have automated builds and separate packages.

Also, I don't think the @latest would be a major issue for us, as we have replaced the documentation with the correct major version number. So only people who go out of their way to use @latest against the official documentation would be affected when/if we remove the file from a later version of mermaid. As long as we keep it in v11, it should be good.

I have this idea for fully customizable mermaid that people can download, containing code for only the diagrams that they need, in a single bundle, without lazy loading.

A browser based version could be done using esbuild-wasm, once the bundling in browser part is figured out.

Hey there @sidharthv96 and @aloisklink!

Thank you so much working this min variant. We're looking to add Mermaid support to our markdown plugin within the Elastic Assistant (elastic/kibana#167723 -- our testing of llm generated mermaid charts has been awesome!) however due some licensing issues around elkjs it looks like consuming this min variant without it is the best path forward at the moment.

It seems there's still some discussion going on WRT packaging, but is there anything we could contribute here to help get this effort in? Happy to help where we can. 🙂 Thanks again!

Hi @spong, I'm not sure if this exact PR will get merged anytime soon, but we are planning on removing elkjs from the default mermaid package in #5049, since quite a few people have raised issues about the license, and we believe it would be backwards compatible (it would just be a visual change).

If it gets merged, it should be in the next major/v11 release, which should hopefully come out before the Christmas/New Year holiday period!

It's not the same as this PR, as mindmaps will still be included, which has a dependency on the very large cytoscape package, but that package is MIT licensed, so there shouldn't be any licensing issues there.

Oh awesome -- thank you so much for the details @aloisklink! From a packaging perspective we're definitely still interested in a min variant, but that's not a strict blocker for adoption, so we will look forward to integrating once v11 is released.

Appreciate all your work here, we're big fans of mermaid and can't wait to introduce it to more folks 🙂

@spong can you verify if https://www.npmjs.com/package/mermaid/v/11.0.0-alpha.5 complies with the license requirements? We've removed elkjs.

Thank you @sidharthv96 for taking care of that so quickly 🙇
Unfortunately, it seems we still have an issue with mermaid-parser and dompurify (this should be good if we adjust our config) 😞

mermaid-parser is MIT licenced. https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/blob/next/packages/parser/LICENSE

With the removal of elk js and addition of the new parser, the size delta has decreased significantly. It's 2.2 vs 1.7 MB now.

If you're using npm, you can use normal mermaid itself. It'll tree shake and lazy load, without affecting size that much.
