Type system: Graph visualization should connect known edges together

[danielmai]

In Dgraph v1.1 when running schema query (schema {}), Ratel shows a graph visualization of the types. This looks great. It would be nice to have the types with fields to other named types visualized as an edge between those two types. Today, every type is its own node, and all the outgoing edges are the fields of that type. There are no connections between types.

I like the idea

Just tried on a local instance, it actually works for types created from UI.
Is it different on your system, @danielmai ?

The pink nodes are the edge names, right? They're not other node types.

Here's an example to show what I mean by "connect known edges together" across types:

Add these types to a new Dgraph cluster:

type TypeA {
	name: string
	connectedTo: [TypeB]
}
type TypeB {
	name: string
}

The schema {} visualization looks like this:

The green nodes can be via the "connectedTo" edge, as mentioned in the type definition of TypeA.
