Global Zoom Level - Layers

Feature Request

I recently downloaded the latest version of Tangleguard (0.25.1) after having used 0.9.0 for the last few months and I’m missing some features I loved! Mainly, your package viewer used to display the layers in the package view.

That is, the container for packages displayed as a box around the packages.

It could be that instead of being another zoom level, it’s a toggle under Dependency Types which optionally shows the layers around the relevant objects.

I saw that you just completed the same feature for modules and sub-modules. It’s the same thing, just up one.

    @Sam Arrowsmith I’ve included some options now to show or hide layers in the diagram (v0.26.1). The dependency rule system needs some improvements though when it comes to validating dependencies within a specific package - I’m on it :)

    Thank you so much for sharing! 🙏

    Showing the layers in the graph is definitively useful and something I miss, too. I’ll bring it back soon :)

    Btw, coming form v.0.9.0 you probably have to recreate the config file. I guess TangleGuard threw an error when loading the old config, right?

      Thank you, Jan! I was discussing with my colleagues that it’s refreshing to see a product take features away rather than perpetually adding them. Kudos for having the product focus!

      It actually just ignored the old file, I didn’t see an error. it’s named architecture-def.json rather than `tangleguard.json` , I guess that’s why.

        That’s great to hear! 😍 Ah the new file name is likely the reason it did not error.
