Add configurable context map

[jannicke-fjordline]

Use Case

We have a project that uses several services that are documented in the eventcatalog. It would be really nice to be able to configure a context map that shows only these specific services, so that we can document the flow between them for this specific project. The domain context map shows all of our services, and has too much information to be used in this case.

Proposed Solution

I would like to be able to add a custom context map, where you configure which services that should be included.

Thank you for raising the issue @jannicke-fjordline .

The context map feature is still very new, and looking for feedback/ideas, this is great, I like the idea, and it's something we can bake into the roadmap of the feature.

Hey @jannicke-fjordline .

Just reviewing this, any thoughts or ideas how you would like to do this?

I wonder if we introduce another resource type into the catalog, for context-maps, where you can specify which services using frontmatter, and the page will render the bounded context map?

Maybe even add options to add bounded context maps, into the diagram too?

Yes, that sounds like a good idea 😃
