Show first order parents/children in lineage graph #516

Open jochemvandooren opened 5 months ago

jochemvandooren commented 5 months ago

Describe the feature

In a big dbt project, the lineage graph explodes because it shows all parents and children. I think it would make more sense to show only the first order parents/children. e.g. 1+model+1 instead of +model+.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Updating the filter manually every time the lineage graph is opened.

Who will this benefit?

Mostly the users of the data catalog that are not very accustomed to the dbt selection criteria. As not everyone understands how the filters work in the lineage graph.

Are you interested in contributing this feature?

Yes.
