Show TableStats in Frontend

eschranz opened this issue · comments

Provide a way to see table statistics (not just column statistics) in the frontend

Expected Behavior or Use Case

The table_stats.py model has two classes. TableColumnStats seems to be implemented more throughout the app, but TableStats is only referenced in the model file. Databuilder is able to add table stats just fine to Neo4j, but these values are not exposed anywhere.

Possible Implementation

An implementation similar to TableColumnStats in the left pane would be useful. Even if it were just for table-level metrics, a way to get those nodes (already in Neo4j) exposed on the frontend would be great!

Example Screenshots (if appropriate):

Context

The left pane description section can get pretty bogged down with information, so a way to easily add things (such as table-level metrics) to a single section would be extremely useful. Furthermore, if the sources of metadata need to be pulled from multiple places, having a means to append things, like TableStats, without overwriting previous values would make life a lot easier.
