[Feature] Collapse JSON Elements

[andreisaikouski]

Add ability to collapse JSON elements displayed in JSON view

[AykutSarac]

Thanks for your suggestion. I will definitely consider adding this.

@AykutSarac Do you use a library to make the graph, or have you created the layout on your own?

I think it would be cool if you could click on the element, and it will collapse the clicked parents children.

I've used the reaflow library. The library itself doesn't have collapse feature built-in though it does have delete node which removes all connectes nodes and edges of parent. Something similar could be implemented.

Yeah maybe it could just be deleted. But I think that the delete functionality maybe causes a lot of performace issues. Would it not be better to just add a javascript display: hidden; and box to the child nodes?

Sounds good.

I support that, would be really useful

We've got some legacy JSON objects with huge values on some sections.

Some of these can make the box 10 times longer than it is high.

I'm happy to try to solve this in a PR at some point, but possibly some kind of inline truncate, on the value level could be nice (That un-truncates if you click it)
