Feature Request: Highlighting inbound / upstream connections.

[vr00n]

When clicking on a particular entity, it highlights all the outbound (downstream) connections but excludes all the inbound (upstream connections).

Any particular reason you chose to do this?

Perhaps you could have a toggle where users can choose whether to highlight:

• [ ] Inbounds Only.
• [ ] Outbounds Only.
• [ ] Inbounds and Outbounds.

Hi @vr00n

You're right: It would definitely be useful to highlight dependent/upstream resources as well as downstream/dependencies. There isn't a compelling reason for the current configuration, except that tooltips would occlude the upstream portion of the graph.

I think this will be a reasonable approach:

• 1st click (and mouseover): highlight downstream connections, only + tooltip
• 2nd click: highlight upstream and downstream connections + no tooltip
• 3rd click: return to normal (no-selection/highlights)

And a further consideration:

• When showing both upstream and downstream connections, there will need to be some way of identifying which node is selected. Maybe a halo effect or something like that. tbd.

Thanks for bringing this up!

@vr00n

Pushed a partial solution (available as v0.1.8 on PyPi)

• mouse events work as described above
• no halo-effect yet for the selected node
• updated the examples at https://28mm.github.io/blast-radius-docs/ to use the new javascript.

Awesome - Thanks for the fast fast feature!
