Azure Devops Wiki Entity Relationship Diagram

Question

I'm new to Azure Devops but have found items online that suggest it is possible to create Entity Relationship Diagrams in an Azure wiki page using mermaid. For example in the link below.

https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/issues/1338

I can create items with mermaid code however when I use the erDiagram text and click to load diagram, I just get an "Unsupported diagram type" error. I'm not sure if this is something wrong in my text or if I need to upgrade mermaid(?). I have no clue about all this really as I'm new to it and a quick google seems to imply this is a common problem that hasn't been solved yet.

Can somebody please help?

Answer 1

It seems erDiagram is not presently supported by Azure DevOps Wiki's mermaid implementation. I get the same error with an erDiagram that renders fine in the Mermaid Live Editor. I've had trouble with other diagram types too.

This page, Markdown Syntax...Mermaid diagrams, indicates only three diagram types are presently supported:

• Sequence diagrams
• Gantt Charts
• Flowcharts
