Sparky - Inventory UI Service
=============================
*View & Inspect* Overview
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*View & Inspect* provides a graph based view of elements within AAI. A
single entity is the entry point into each graph, and from that base
element a graph is generated based off relationships.
Navigation to *View & Inspect*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The *View & Inspect* view can be reached by two means:
1. Main navigation menu
2. Selecting a search result related to an entity instance (e.g. an
entity called readme-entity)
Using *View & Inspect*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*View & Inspect* is driven by using the search bar at the top of the UI
to find and select entity instances. Once an instance has been slected,
a request is proccessed in *Sparky's* backend component that generates a
graph representation of the selected entity. The graph data is returned
to *View & Inspect* and rendered on screen.
Node Details
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Upon node selection, the selected graph node details will appear in a
panel to the right of the graph titled, *Node Details*.
Interacting with the Graph
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The graph can be panned by clicking and holding empty space amongst the
graph and moving the mouse. This will pan the entire graph. The graph
can be zoomed in and out by using a mouse scroll wheel. Nodes in the
graph can be select by clicking on them. Nodes in the graph can be moved
by clicking, holding, and dragging them using the mouse.
