About this extension
Documenting architecture or flow logic with a
```mermaid block inside a JSDoc comment is a nice way to keep diagrams next to the code they describe — but GitHub only renders it as a fenced code block, not a diagram, whether you're reading the source or reviewing a diff. This extension adds a small badge next to the line number of every such block so you can preview or open the diagram without leaving the page or copy-pasting into an external tool.- Scans
/** ... */JSDoc comments in.js/.jsx/.ts/.tsxfiles, and plain fenced blocks in.md/.markdown/.mdxfiles, for```mermaidcode blocks — on blob (source file) pages, and on PR "Files changed", commit and compare diff pages - Overlays a small 📊 badge next to the line number of each detected block; click it to open a zoomable/pannable preview (via mermaid.ink), which also links to the full mermaid.live editor
- On diff pages, if the diagram itself was edited (not just surrounding code), the badge turns into 🔀 and clicking it shows the diagram before and after side by side — a red-tinted "Before" pane and a green-tinted "After" pane, each with its own "Open in Mermaid Live" link
- Preview supports scroll-to-zoom, drag-to-pan, double-click-to-reset, and a +/−/⟳ toolbar
- Works on GitHub's Turbo-driven navigation and lazy-loaded diffs — badges refresh automatically as you browse between files or scroll
- Light and dark mode support
