Mermaid Support for DDD Context Maps

[bifa-zuehlke]

Hi everyone

I propose extending Mermaid’s syntax to support Context Maps from Domain-Driven Design (DDD). Context maps visually depict bounded contexts, their relationships, and integration patterns, which are crucial for communication in large-scale software architecture.

Context maps are widely used in DDD but require specialized tools or manual diagramming.
Integration into Mermaid would increase adoption and reduce friction for teams practicing DDD.

Example Syntax

contextMap
  BC_Sales: "Sales Context"
  BC_Billing: "Billing Context"
  BC_Support: "Support Context"

  BC_Sales -> BC_Billing : CustomerSupplier
  BC_Billing -> BC_Support : Partnership

What do you think? Are there features or patterns you’d like to see supported in such a syntax?
