✨Feature Request - generate flow charts from test scenarios

[briantist]

This is kind of a half-baked idea, but monkeyble seems uniquely positioned to generate a flow chart of a play/playbook/role, which could be a really nice addition to role documentation and such.

It could use Mermaid syntax, use the task names, represent looping and branching and such?
So maybe for example, you run several scenarios against a specific role or playbook, and a result a flowchart can be generated that shows various paths through the role.

An example of mermaid (quote or edit this post to see the syntax, better examples are out there):

graph TD
    A[Thievery] -->|Get money| B(Go shopping)
    B --> C{Let me think}
    C -->|One| D[Laptop]
    C -->|Two| E[iPhone]
    C -->|Three| F[fa:fa-car Car]

What about this project?

Hadn't seen that before, thanks! Unfortunately it seems to only generate images which aren't as useful imo, but maybe that project could be used together with monkeyble in the future:

• Refactor: make the grapher usable as a library haidaraM/ansible-playbook-grapher#45
• [Feature request] generate mermaid instead of images haidaraM/ansible-playbook-grapher#137
