In mermaid, namespaces are rectangles with a title wraps classes, does it make sense to create an empty one with height and width?

[kostkams]

How could I create a rectangle? I haven't found something in the docu.
That would solve my need.

[Yokozuna59]

That's my question, why do need an empty rectangle? It would take up space in the diagram and make other classes/namespaces have more padding, which would make the diagram look worse.

Ah sry, we use mermaid as an uml data model design tool. The user can create emtpy classnames and add the class later.
Right now, we add a dummy class with "hidden"-class. But that is just a workaround

My suggestion would be to create a class within the namespace, just the name of the class itself. That should give you your box. Otherwise, the namespace will not draw

Closing as this is not something, and there is a workaround available
