[Project] Save & restore named graph bookmarks

[kmcginnes]

Add a way to recall previously saved graph bookmarks.

Goals

• Save a bookmark of the current graph
• Restore a graph bookmark
• Name a graph bookmark

Potential Issues

• Node and edge IDs may no longer exist since graph bookmark was saved
• Connection may have changed since graph bookmark was saved
• Cascade of database queries may be taxing on the server

Prerequisites

• #587

UX Ideas

• New sidebar with list of saved graph bookmark
• Show count of nodes and edges
• Show date of snapshot
• Show date of last recall
• Allow custom name (default to date and time)
• Add tabs to the connection detail view: Data Explorer & Saved Graphs
• Available actions on saved graphs:
  • Reload
  • Rename
  • Delete
• Sort list by most recently loaded
• Persist list of timestamps of when the bookmark was loaded
  • This allows sorting by a weighted frequency of use
• Allow one undo after loading a bookmark or clearing the graph
  • Store the previous graph in memory
  • Replace previous graph with current graph on load of a graph bookmark

Mockup

This is a rough Markdown style mock up of an individual saved graph item. This would exist in a list in the sidebar.
