Mermaid live Code Renderer with python

Mermaid.live Code Renderer

Lately, I’ve been exploring the capabilities of Mermaid.js. Mermaid stands out as a JavaScript-based tool for diagramming and charting, known for its ability to interpret Markdown-inspired text definitions to create dynamic and customizable diagrams.

Personally, I frequently rely on mermaid.live, a Live Editor, to effortlessly generate, modify, and refine my charts.

In a recent project, TI Mindmap, I encountered the necessity of allowing users to edit code to rectify errors or dynamically alter the diagram. This requirement prompted me to develop a Python procedure that takes Markdown-inspired text definitions as input and generates a URL pointing to the Mermaid.live service — an invaluable solution for streamlining the editing process and enhancing user experience.

    return base64.b64encode(data)
