# `Runic.Workflow.Serializers.Mermaid`
[🔗](https://github.com/zblanco/runic/blob/main/lib/workflow/serializers/mermaid.ex#L1)

Serializes Runic Workflows to Mermaid diagram format.

Supports two diagram types:
- **Flowchart**: Shows static workflow structure with components as subgraphs
- **Sequence**: Shows causal reactions between facts and steps

## Examples

    # Generate flowchart of workflow structure
    mermaid = Runic.Workflow.Serializers.Mermaid.serialize(workflow)

    # Generate sequence diagram of causal reactions
    mermaid = Runic.Workflow.Serializers.Mermaid.serialize_causal(workflow)

    # With options
    mermaid = Runic.Workflow.Serializers.Mermaid.serialize(workflow,
      direction: :LR,
      include_memory: false,
      title: "My Workflow"
    )

# `serialize_causal`

Generates a sequence diagram showing causal reactions.

Shows how facts flow through top-level components (or standalone nodes).
Each column represents a top-level component with sub-component details.
Edges show facts traveling across nodes with cycle information.
Originating input facts (no ancestry) are displayed with their raw values.
