mgt-person-card-organization
Proposal: Support mgt-person-card-organization as its own component
Description
Currently the person card displays the org chart but there's no way to show it separately, however i think it would be a great feature to provide it as its own component
Rationale
A lot of times you want to show the org chart on its own, or for a specific department rather than based on a person card.
Preferred Solution
expose mgt-person-card-organization such that it can be used in a similar way to that of person-card, ex.
Hello mohamedcherifmo, thank you for opening an issue with us!

Hello @mohamedcherifmo thank you for raising this issue. We have been making updates to the components for version 3 of mgt. One of the updates that we have is making some of the parts of a huge component their own individual component. Some of the reasons for doing this you have already raised for your case. We shall be shipping this in our upcoming v3. Have a look at this PR https://github.com/microsoftgraph/microsoft-graph-toolkit/pull/1958 in review by @Mnickii and feel free to add your suggestions for this kind of features.
I didn't understand from this PR how they would be separated, also would it then give me the ability to define / customize the sections in the person card? (Through templating maybe?)
let's try and keep this issue focused on the topic of making a separate mgt-person-organization component and keep the discussion on wider implications/usage other components in the person-card over on PR #1958 please.
Regarding the idea of mgt-person-organization for developers to use in their own code, we will ship one in a v3 release, the only question if it's part of 3.0.0 or a later release.
If we were to ship a simple mgt-person-organization component, what would be the different settings / knobs / configuration you'd expect to be able to modify to have a great developer / user experience?
The ones I have in mind are:
- Person (id or query)
- can go to manager or not (usually if we're going to display it for a department, we don't want someone to navigate above the department head)
- Number if levels to show by default
- ability to inherit (in case using it in a person section)
I didn't understand from this PR how they would be separated, also would it then give me the ability to define / customize the sections in the person card? (Through templating maybe?)
For this release, you will not be able to customize it. I agree with @sebastienlevert that if we were to make a standalone mgt-person-organization component then it would be the perfect place to add the necessary customization.
