7 Graph Rework

Description

This RFC contains Multiple Proposals on how to improve the Graph handling of Dendron.

Goals

Functional improvements of the Graph
- View
- Filtering
- Coloring
- Embedding
Performance Improvements
Connection between Graph's
- Multi-Vault
- Other published Gardens and their Graph's see RFC 5
Clarify what is part of the Graph.

Questions

Tenets

Ownership of the Graph
Functionality
Performance
Entry point to a Decentralized Graph
Connectivity

Use Cases

Graph View improvements
Connection of Graphs
Verification of Graphs against Schemas

Proposal

Graph backend
1. I would propose the implementation of some form of Graph Data Structure Library or Database to Improve how the Graph gets handled
  - Graphology
  - gram.js
  - GunDB / Gun.js
  - Neo4j
2. Caching of the Graph
  - Only in the extension
  - In a file that gets committed to the vault?
Graph rendering
1. What customization Options are wanted/needed
  - Coloring
  - Highlighting
  - Hiding
2. What types of Filters
  - Hierarchical Structure
  - Schema
  - Tags
  - Links
  - Location
  - Text
3. What Interactions do we want?
  - Just clicking on Nodes
  - The ability to move Nodes from One Hierarchy to another?
  - Creating a Schema from Selected Nodes?
How are the Graphs embedded
- Code Blocks?
  - rendering of gram.js format?
- Generate SVGs to embed them?
- Embed as IMG
  - after exporting from Graph View
- Referencing a filter so that the Graph updates?
