Implement shortest path visualization between types #105

Open playerx opened 5 years ago

playerx commented 5 years ago

Hi,

Thanks first of all for this project, it helps a lot to visualize our domain objects and their relations.

When graph grows its necessary to understand how to get from Type 1 to Type 2 and it will be helpful to have ability to see shortest path between types, in voyager

Example: Selected Type 1 Selected Type 2 (with ctrl + click)

and voyager shows shortest path between those two Entities, how to get from Type 1 to Type 2

I already need such feature :)

Just curious, what's the use case?

Is this somehow related to optimizing GraphQL queries?

playerx commented 5 years ago

Hi @FluorescentHallucinogen, I had situation when there were multiple ways getting from Type 1 to Type 2 and it was necessary to analyze all ways and find shortest one. I think its necessary for big graphs when there are lots of domain objects and you don't want to analyze all ways manually and find shortest one

@playerx

and it was necessary to analyze all ways and find shortest one.

For what? What's your final goal? To write the most optimized query? Or something else?

One goal would be explainability
