Feature Request: GraphImportResponse

[mehmetb]

Currently, there is no way to tell if the graph import is finished successfully or failed. Knowing if the engine has finished import-related tasks and is ready for further tasks is challenging.

Our current workaround is to wait for the node-created and pin-created events to stop (in other words, we use timers).

I shared some sample schemas below to give you an idea.

First, I recommend adding an id field to the request, which can be referenced in the GraphImportResponse.

table GraphImportRequest {
  graph_to_import_json:string;
  clear_root_graph:bool;
  parent_graph_path:string;
  pos:nos.fb.vec2;
  insert_as_graph: bool;
  id:ulong;
}

And the GraphImportResponse can be something like this:

table GraphImportResponse {
  request_id:ulong (required);
  success:bool (required);
  message:string; // Can be used for returning error messages (e.g., "Import failed: An import task is already running.")
}
