Remove Members & Methods Box On Class Diagram, If They Are Not Set

[apeacock1991]

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

I am using the class diagram for a domain model, as after all, in a domain model, they are ultimately going to be classes in the codebase. However, they do not have members nor methods defined.

Describe the solution you'd like

It works pretty well, but it would be much prettier if the members & methods boxes were not rendered on the diagram (nor the dividers) if there are none.

Then there would just be a node with a title. I did try using a flowchart, but for a domain model, you really need the UML-style arrows for composition, aggregation etc.

Thanks for the suggestion. We are adding this to the backlog

We have the same need: UML-style arrows and display of cardinalities, but would like to avoid displaying empty members & methods boxes.
In practice, this makes the class graphs hardly usable for us. Would you consider giving this problem a high priority? - Or should we try to find our own solution?

I am actively working on this one now, finally :)

Kudos to @knsv, @jgreywolf, and @yari-dewalt for the heavy lifting on the update to the new renderer👏

Since this feature has attracted a lot of interest, here’s how to configure the class diagram to hide those empty member boxes (more in documentation). You can play around with it in the preview build.

---
  config:
    class:
      hideEmptyMembersBox: true
---
classDiagram
  class Duck

---
  config:
    class:
      hideEmptyMembersBox: true
---
classDiagram
  note for Duck "This will be rendered without empty boxes 
  once GitHub updates to the latest release ."
  class Duck

@ParanoidUser How do we adjust hideEmptyMembersBox? Does it need special mermaid engine? Even your example looks like it still has member fields on github previewer

FYI - This is only available in v11.4 and up. GitHub has not updated the version they are using
