Integrate Mermaid.js for Basic Diagrams #49
Description
📊 Integrate Mermaid.js for Basic Diagrams 🎨
📝 Description
Install and integrate Mermaid.js into the React frontend to enable rendering of simple diagrams and flowcharts. This will support visual representations of data models (e.g., colored blocks for hybrid vs. on-chain), keeping the chat outputs engaging and non-technical.
🎯 Objective
Add Mermaid.js support in /frontend to generate and display basic visual diagrams for project suggestions.
✅ Requirements
- In
/frontend, install Mermaid.js:npm install mermaid. - In
/frontend/src/components, create a new fileDiagramRenderer.js. - Implement a functional React component that takes diagram code as a prop (e.g., Mermaid syntax string) and renders it using Mermaid's API (e.g., via
mermaid.render). - Add basic styling for the diagram container (e.g., fixed width/height, responsive).
- Support simple examples like a flowchart with colored nodes for data types (off-chain blue, on-chain green).
- Export the component for use in bot messages or previews.
- Commit changes to the Git repository with a message like "Integrated Mermaid.js for basic diagram rendering".
🏆 Expected Outcomes
- Mermaid.js is installed and imported without errors.
DiagramRenderer.jsrenders a sample Mermaid diagram (e.g., a simple flowchart) when passed valid syntax.- Diagrams appear visually appealing with colors, enhancing non-technical explanations.
- Changes committed, and component is testable in
App.jswith a mock diagram.

📋 Notes
- Use Mermaid's client-side rendering to avoid server needs; initialize Mermaid API once on app load if required.
- Test with a hardcoded example: e.g., graph with nodes labeled "User Data (Off-Chain)" in blue.
- Ensure diagrams are accessible (e.g., alt text for tooltips).
