Navigating many tables in schema
is there any tools you guys use for navigating the schema faster, we hit 57 tables today 😅

We added search by table name to the dashboard. What kind of navigation are you looking for? In your code editor? On the dashboard?
yeah looking for a tool within the vscode that might work with the schema already, it would be nice to be able to click on a edge or id and go to the table. Find is too slow. plus its not always plural
Then you probably need another Editor. But I am able to ctrl f in vscode through my thousands of lines jsons
@ampp I see. This is a feature request for "jump to table definition", and then for Ents "jump to edge definition". These are hard to achieve without codegen, but we have considered them and might add them in the future.
It is possible that IDEs will enable this on their own too (I know that Intellij had jump to definition working for our pre-1.0 API calls).
Yeah, exactly. I was hoping/assuming there was some way to do this via a extension. Even if it was something 2ndary like using comments to "jump"
VSCode just added a new marker feature. with that you will have a marker in your minimap on the side which you can click to get to a specific code block. https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_88#_minimap-section-headers

I'll have to play with that to see how well it actually works. I was using the minimap to jump to the approximate location so ill see if this increases accuracy.
