# Configuration
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When mermaid starts, configuration is extracted to determine a configuration to be used for a diagram. There are 3 sources for configuration:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- The default configuration
 | 
						|
- Overrides at the site level are set by the initialize call, and will be applied to all diagrams in the site/app. The term for this is the **siteConfig**.
 | 
						|
- Frontmatter (v10.5.0+) - diagram authors can update select configuration parameters in the frontmatter of the diagram. These are applied to the render config.
 | 
						|
- Directives (Deprecated by Frontmatter) - diagram authors can update select configuration parameters directly in the diagram code via directives. These are applied to the render config.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**The render config** is configuration that is used when rendering by applying these configurations.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Frontmatter config
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The entire mermaid configuration (except the secure configs) can be overridden by the diagram author in the frontmatter of the diagram. The frontmatter is a YAML block at the top of the diagram.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```mermaid-example
 | 
						|
---
 | 
						|
title: Hello Title
 | 
						|
config:
 | 
						|
  theme: base
 | 
						|
  themeVariables:
 | 
						|
    primaryColor: "#00ff00"
 | 
						|
---
 | 
						|
flowchart
 | 
						|
	Hello --> World
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```mermaid
 | 
						|
---
 | 
						|
title: Hello Title
 | 
						|
config:
 | 
						|
  theme: base
 | 
						|
  themeVariables:
 | 
						|
    primaryColor: "#00ff00"
 | 
						|

 |

flowchart
 |

	Hello --> World
 |

 | 
						|
```

## Theme configuration
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Starting mermaid
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```mermaid-example
 | 
						|
sequenceDiagram
 | 
						|
	Site->>mermaid: initialize
 | 
						|
	Site->>mermaid: content loaded
 | 
						|
	mermaid->>mermaidAPI: init
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```mermaid
 | 
						|
sequenceDiagram
 | 
						|
	Site->>mermaid: initialize
 | 
						|
	Site->>mermaid: content loaded
 | 
						|
	mermaid->>mermaidAPI: init
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Initialize
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The initialize call is applied **only once**. It is called by the site integrator in order to override the default configuration at a site level.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## configApi.reset
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This method resets the configuration for a diagram to the overall site configuration, which is the configuration provided by the site integrator. Before each rendering of a diagram, reset is called at the very beginning.
