[Feature Request] Having text at the start, center and end of a line

[enwi]

Proposal

It would be nice to be able to have text right at the start and end of a line and not only at the center. The current syntax A ---|Text| B could be extended.

Example

Text at start:
A |Start|--- B

Text at center:
A -|Center|-- B or A --|Center|- B

Text at end:
A ---|End| B

Different combinations of the three should be allowed:
A |Start|-|Center|-- B
A -|Center|--|End| B
A |Start|---|End| B

Hello, @enwi! I'm interested in contributing to this project and I noticed the issue you posted.
Could you please provide more details about what needs to be done for this issue? I'd like to understand it better before I start working on it.
Thank you!

Sure @RipulHandoo. Currently a line/arrow between two nodes can only have text right in the center:

graph LR
    Left ---|Center text| Right

Loading

With this feature I would like to be able to have text right next to the Left node, in between both nodes and right next to the Right node. This is helpful for adding some notes to the outside of the nodes kind of like in #1227 where you want to have the port number or network address:

If you have more questions please ask 🙂

Hi @enwi

I understand your desire to have finer control over the placement of text in a diagram or mind map, including positioning text right next to the left node, in between both nodes, and right next to the right node. I will start working on this right away !

@RipulHandoo or @JaswanthJeethu18 is there any update so far or a way of seeing the progress made?

any update on this, @JaswanthJeethu18 or @RipulHandoo ? It'd be great to have this for sequence diagrams.

I wanted to get my hands on mermaid and this was the first issue i noticed.. I think this is very crucial.

In my case i want to put a 1 and n on a line to denote a 1:n relationship between two entities.
