Generic type support for class diagrams

See original GitHub issue

I want to be able to define a generic class in class diagrams. This currently breaks because the parser doesn’t allow < or > in the class name.

classDiagram
class Test<T> {
+ test: int
}

Live editor example

If this syntax would break something, there could be an alternative syntax

classDiagram
class Test{T} {
+ test: int
}

This should render with < > brackets. Needs more work because this means additional parsing.

Looks like the grammar in flow.jison will need to be added to.

This issue is about class diagrams, not flow diagrams.

New contributor here! I’m interested in taking this on. Looks like the grammar in classDiagram.jison will need to be added to.

Edit: originally incorrectly referred to flow.json
