Feature: Addition of Dashboard Page to Visualize Data

Is your feature request related to a problem?

No, this is not related to a problem.

This feature would enable users of Surrealist to visualize their data through graphs (pie chart, bar chart, geo chart etc...) and dashboards (visualized counts which may update periodically on an interval or in real time.)

I believe that this would help enable Surrealist stand out even further against database competitors as well as introduce SurrealDB to a new audience of people who already use other platforms like Metabase / Grafana to visualize their database through these methods.

---

This would provide the following benefits:

• Enable Surrealist / SurrealDB to appeal to users where visualizing data is critical (customer support for instance tracking call / ticket volumes etc...)
• This would eliminate a need to use and spend time connecting an existing SurrealDB instance to another company solution to provide this.
• This could potentially get users to switch from something like MariaDB or SQL Server to SurrealDB entirely.
• This would further enhance and align with SurrealDB's goal of providing a great out of the box experience for end users.

Describe the solution

As a user of Metabase, I'm able to connect a SQL / SQLite database to the platform and use queries on their backend or custom frontend queries to populate different types of graphs:

---

As a user of Grafana I'm able to install / connect a database plugin to create graphs through database syntax, SurrealDB already has 2 extensions on this platform however they are very experimental still:

By enabling Surrealist to do this instead, SurrealDB users wouldn't need to rely on 3rd parties to visualize the data and would provide existing users on those platforms for their DB use cases to look at Surrealist / SurrealDB as an alternate.

A Dashboards page could be added here to this side panel:

When clicked, it would present users an option of viewing and creating named dashboard(s) which would include custom graphs they setup.

We could possibly embed the graphic walker react library into Surrealist to make Tableau-like BI dashboards 🤔
