Collapsible network graph

[loopmode]

I'm using @vx/network and users of the app can draw graphs of arbitrary complexity.

Is it possible to have collapsible functionality, much like with the many Tree and hierarchy examples, but with import { Graph } from '@vx/network'?
I've read #162 and looked at the examples and their code, and by the looks of the examples, it's just what I need, any of those :)

However, I'm not sure how to approach the problem with the network data structure. I do not necessarily have a directed graph or a single root node..
Anybody done collapsible network graphs already? I'd appreciate any idea or suggestion.

Hey @loopmode you might be interested in checking out @data-ui/network which you can demo here, example source code here and implementation here.

It's partially implemented with vx, but not @vx/network. We discussed sometime porting this back to vx once we figured out the API around layout etc., which is much more complex than what @vx/network currently implements. It's definitely a "higher order chart" which feels less at home in vx, but perhaps it'll be useful or we could discuss how to bring back the primatives to vx. We've successfully used this component in a handful of projects with different layouts and custom nodes/links.
