multiple word type in erDiagram attributes

[marcosh]

As far as I understand it, when defining attributes in a erDiagram, both type and name need to be single words.

I am trying to define an erDiagram where I would like to use Haskell types instead of database types, to keep a more high-level vision.
The issue is that I have types like Id Person, which consists of two words and this breaks the parser.

The same issue would arise trying to use the integer ARRAY syntax for Postgres.

Would it be possible to have a way to declare types with more than one word? Maybe using " or {} or whatever else is commonly used in Mermaid

You could always use _. Otherwise, enclosing the text in quotes could work as well. Something to look at.

It seems like declaring multi-word types/attributes with double quotes was added with PR #3516, should this issue be closed?

@Mikek16 no, this is about entity FIELD types and names, not about the names of entities themselves, e.g. currently there's no way to make this snippet work:

erDiagram
  CUSTOMER {
    std::string name
  }
