Defining a class, members, and relationships
In this section, you will learn about classes and what their UML representation looks like. You will learn the syntax of defining a class, be exposed to different ways of adding members to a class, and will find out about different types of relationships among classes and how to represent them while using Mermaid. One of the biggest advantages of using Mermaid to create a class diagram is that you do not have to worry about the positioning of the individual classes or members and relationship edges/connecting lines while rendering the diagram—Mermaid takes care of all this. So, you just need to define classes and focus on how they are structured as per a well-predefined syntax, and Mermaid will render a nice-looking diagram for you based on your inputs.
Now, let's first understand how a class is represented, and then we will have a closer look at the syntax of defining a class in Mermaid in the next section.
