Add React Component Hierarchy Tree Visualizer and Navigation Tool #1074

Description

@anoop-ih

Description:

react-doctor currently has sophisticated component detection and hierarchy analysis capabilities through its AST walking logic in no-multi-comp.ts, but lacks a visual interface for exploring component relationships.

Proposed Feature:

Add an interactive tree visualization UI that leverages the existing component analysis infrastructure to provide:

  • Visual component hierarchy tree rendering
  • Interactive navigation of parent-child relationships
  • Component nesting depth visualization
  • Search and filter capabilities for large codebases

Technical Foundation:

The core analysis logic already exists in:

  • Component detection patterns (ES6 classes, function declarations, HoC wrappers)
  • Hierarchy analysis tracking nesting depth and relationships
  • Parent component resolution utilities

Implementation Suggestion:

This could be implemented as:

  • A new CLI command (e.g., react-doctor visualize)
  • Integration into the existing website (react.doctor)
  • A new output format option for the JSON API
