Edges

Edges link nodes together. Like nodes, edges have a unique ID and type, and a versioned key-value map of attributes. Additionally, they carry information about the nodes they link together.

• Unique Identifier and Type: Gives each edge its distinct identity.
• Versioned Attributes: Tracks the changes to the edge's attributes over time.
• Connective Information: Includes the 'nodeFromType', 'nodeFromId', 'nodeToType', and 'nodeToId' of the linked nodes.

Lets model example of blog:

var userNode = new Node("User");
var blogNode = new Node("Blog");
 
var authorEdge = new Edge(
    userNode,
    "isOwnerOf",
    blogNode
);

You can also add attributes:

var userNode = new Node("User");
var blogNode = new Node("Blog");
 
var authorEdge = new Edge(
    userNode,
    "isAuthorOf",
    blogNode,
    new LeafAttribute<>("role", new StringAttributeValue("Writer")),
    new LeafAttribute<>("since", new StringAttributeValue("2023-01-01"))
);
