Add support for 'types'

[RamzesTheSecond]

As a Dev I need a support for 'types'

e.g.

type ExampleType = string | Function;

Can you provide a sample input typescript and the corresponding plantuml?

For simple purposes, a type can behave in UML just like an interface. For example,

type SetupType = {
  active?: boolean
  comment?: string | string[]
  params?: any
}

can map to

@startuml
interface SetupType {
    +active?: boolean | undefined
    +comment?: string | string[] | undefined
    +params?: any
}
@enduml

but instead of interface it should be type with (mabye) the resulting I turned to T. This would be useful to parse existing code that are already using type and its syntax, instead of having to change them all to interface.

For the OP's original request, I'm guessing this would suffice

@startuml
interface ExampleType {
}
@enduml

again, replacing the interface syntax with the type syntax.

+1, this would be great to have

For reference, the latest TypeScript documentation effectively says that Interfaces and Type aliases are interchangable: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/everyday-types.html#differences-between-type-aliases-and-interfaces. Which one the user uses is largely down to personal preference.

Sending out type as interface should be straight forward enough.
