Validate graphs #429

Open bergie opened 9 years ago

bergie commented 9 years ago

Just like CoffeeLint and jshint for component source code (#271), we should build and integrate a "graphlint" tool that would check and inform user on:

Unattached required ports
Datatype mismatches between ports
Possible other gotchas (incompatible firing patterns, group handling, etc)

The information needed for this is the graph(s), and the component library

Probably need to communicate more info about the components across FBP protocol. And will need to have per-runtime linting rules, since component/network behavior is different for each.

Similarly to fbp-spec, I think this should be a stand-alone library/tool that has API suitable for integration into noflo-ui (and other things).
