Add `package` to class diagram

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Hello! Иon-native English speaker warning

I’m relative frequently drawing class diagrams. For now I’m using MagicDraw but I would like to try text-to-scheme solution.

I like your syntax for class diagrams and I would be very happy to use it for my work but I frequently using packages in my schemes. Like class A goes to package X and associated with class B that laying in package Y.

Describe the solution you’d like

I would like to have a package extension for current syntax like:

package Sales {
  class Product {
    +int id
  }
  Product o-- Employees.Manager

package Employees {
  class Manager {
    +int id
  }
}

Hey,

I would like to express how much I enjoy using mermaid over other tools for diagramming. Its great to be able to version code and documentation next to each other in the same folder.

My current project really needs this feature, so I have set up a bounty for it here: https://app.bountysource.com/issues/83273957-add-package-to-class-diagram

If you decide to work on it, please call it “namespace” instead of “package”. Also I would appriciate it very much to be nestable like so:

namespace Factory {
    namespace Employees {
        class Technician {
            +int id
        }
    }
}

I hope this convinces someone to built the feature, keep on rocking Mermaid! 😃

Sorry, no - I had put the work on hold until the new version of rendering engine was completed. Now that this is in place I will get back to this item
