Feature Request: Integrated Query Runner for Visualizing Results

[dhiaaeddine16]

Dear Maintainers,

I would like to propose the addition of an Integrated Query Runner to the Visual Cypher Builder. This feature would allow users to execute Cypher queries directly within the tool and view the results.

Motivation:

This feature will improve the user experience by enabling:

1. Interactive Learning: Users can instantly test their Cypher queries and see the results.
2. Streamlined Workflow: Eliminates the need to switch between different tools for query execution and visualization.
3. Increased Productivity: Provides a seamless environment for building, testing, and refining queries.

Proposed Implementation:

1. Backend: Use the Neo4j JavaScript driver to execute Cypher queries.
2. Frontend: Add an interface for users to input and run queries, displaying the results visually.

I am proposing to implement this feature and contribute it directly to the project, with approval and guidance from the project Maintainers.

I look forward to your feedback and the opportunity to contribute this feature.

Best regards,
Dhiaa eddine.

Hi @dhiaaeddine16 , great suggestion! It would be awesome if you could look into this.
The idea I had in mind was to run the query using the already created driver object, then render results using the Table component that comes with the UI framework:

We could look into some optimizations & usability by adding error handling and some automatic row limiting.

Looking forward,
Niels
