Code Examples

This section will provide a collection of code examples that work with the Blueprints graph API. The in-memory TinkerGraph database will be used throughout the examples. Please feel free to alter the graph constructor to work with different graph databases. These code examples can be found in the main Blueprints distribution at this location.

Create a graph. Add two vertices. Set the name property of each vertex. Create an knows edge between the two vertices. Shutdown the graph.

Graph graph = new TinkerGraph();
Vertex a = graph.addVertex(null);
Vertex b = graph.addVertex(null);
a.setProperty("name", "marko");
a.setProperty("name", "peter");
Edge e = graph.addEdge(null, a, b, "knows");
graph.shutdown();
