echarts Self-loop in graph

What problem does this feature solve?

This feature would solve that it is possible for an edge of a node to point to the node itself. I want to generate a graph that shows the schema of my Neo4j database and some nodes in the schema point to themselves. This is because of hierarchical structures in one label. For example as a Disease, cancer is very general and malignant mixed neoplasm is a more specific kind of cancer. So these two nodes are connected with a relationship is_a.

What does the proposed API look like?

It should be like it is now: nodes:[{name:'Disease'}],edges:[{source:'Disease', target:'Disease'}] and generate then the self-loop.

this should be also useful to display conversational flows, any ETA on this feature?

eCharts is a great tool for visualizing property graphs. Since self-loops are typical in the property graph model, also with multiple edges, supporting this would be a strong contribution. Atm, such a loop is possible in eCharts, but is hardly recognizable after rendering.
