Search in Dependency Graph for Component

[mtsfoni]

Current Behavior

In order to search for a specific dependency, I must manually iterate through and open all nodes in the dependency graph. For instance, I need to do this to determine the path through which a transitive dependency is included.

Proposed Behavior

The Dependency Graph tab could incorporate a text or selection box where I can enter or choose the name of the component. Once I confirm the specific component I am searching for, the dependency graph would automatically open all paths to all occurrences of those nodes.

The Dependency Graph is frequently utilized as a reference tool to gain a deeper understanding of the routes through which transitive dependencies are incorporated. The ability to initiate the search from the dependency and trace it upstream significantly simplifies this process.

Just find the transitive dependency in the component list. Click the graph icon -> it will narrow down the tree to what you are looking for. Yes a search/selection might make sense, but you can use this today until that is available.
