Graphgen

Interactive database schema visualization. Supabase-style graph of your data model, rendered in the browser.

Status: planned

---

What It Will Do

Graphgen will take a schema definition and render it as an interactive, navigable graph. Tables as nodes, relationships as edges. Click to explore, zoom to navigate.

Think Supabase's schema visualizer, but fed by soleprint's modelgen extractors and rendered with soleprint-ui's GraphRenderer.

Architecture

Extract (modelgen) ──► Serve (station API) ──► Render (GraphRenderer)

Extract -- modelgen extractors read the codebase (Django, SQLAlchemy, Prisma) and produce a normalized schema.

Serve -- station exposes the schema as a JSON API endpoint.

Render -- GraphRenderer (Vue Flow) draws the interactive graph in the browser.

Dependencies

• modelgen extractors -- must be functional before graphgen can extract schemas
• soleprint-ui GraphRenderer -- Vue Flow-based component for rendering

Graphgen depends on modelgen extractors being complete. That is the blocking dependency.
