Feature request: allow passing graph data (adjacency list) by URL #4

Open huttarl opened 7 years ago

huttarl commented 7 years ago

It would be nice to be able to pass a graph by URL, e.g.

https://yiboyang.github.io/graphrel/?a=14%3A%5B16%5D%2C15%3A%5B14%5D%2C16%3A%5B15%5D

to pass the URL-encoded adjacency list 14:[16],15:[14],16:[15]. This would be much more convenient for the recipient than "save this adjacency list file, visit the graphrel URL, find where you saved the file, and upload it."

Granted there would be length limitations. But for small graphs it could be very handy.

The URL could be generated in javascript based on the current adjacency list and made available to the user via a chain link icon or something.

Just realized this was the same feature request as https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/13841/online-tool-for-making-graphs-vertices-and-edges#comment3873659_1559374

I think I must have read that comment earlier, and retained the idea but forgot the source.
