# EdgeCollection API
The _EdgeCollection API_ extends the
[_Collection API_](README.md) with the following methods.
## edgeCollection.edge
`async edgeCollection.edge(documentHandle): Object`
Retrieves the edge with the given _documentHandle_ from the collection.
**Arguments**
* **documentHandle**: `string`
The handle of the edge to retrieve. This can be either the `_id` or the `_key`
of an edge in the collection, or an edge (i.e. an object with an `_id` or
`_key` property).
**Examples**
```js
const db = new Database();
const collection = db.edgeCollection('edges');
const edge = await collection.edge('some-key');
// the edge exists
assert.equal(edge._key, 'some-key');
assert.equal(edge._id, 'edges/some-key');
// -- or --
const edge = await collection.edge('edges/some-key');
// the edge exists
assert.equal(edge._key, 'some-key');
assert.equal(edge._id, 'edges/some-key');
```
## edgeCollection.save
`async edgeCollection.save(data, [fromId, toId]): Object`
Creates a new edge between the documents _fromId_ and _toId_ with the given
_data_ and returns an object containing the edge's metadata.
**Arguments**
* **data**: `Object`
The data of the new edge. If _fromId_ and _toId_ are not specified, the _data_
needs to contain the properties `_from` and `_to`.
* **fromId**: `string` (optional)
The handle of the start vertex of this edge. This can be either the `_id` of a
document in the database, the `_key` of an edge in the collection, or a
document (i.e. an object with an `_id` or `_key` property).
* **toId**: `string` (optional)
The handle of the end vertex of this edge. This can be either the `_id` of a
document in the database, the `_key` of an edge in the collection, or a
document (i.e. an object with an `_id` or `_key` property).
* **opts**: `Object` (optional)
If _opts_ is set, it must be an object with any of the following properties:
* **waitForSync**: `boolean` (Default: `false`)
Wait until document has been synced to disk.
* **returnNew**: `boolean` (Default: `false`)
If set to `true`, return additionally the complete new documents under the
attribute `new` in the result.
* **returnOld**: `boolean` (Default: `false`)
If set to `true`, return additionally the complete old documents under the
attribute `old` in the result.
* **silent**: `boolean` (Default: `false`)
If set to true, an empty object will be returned as response. No meta-data
will be returned for the created document. This option can be used to save
some network traffic.
* **overwrite**: `boolean` (Default: `false`)
If set to true, the insert becomes a replace-insert. If a document with the
same _key already exists the new document is not rejected with unique
constraint violated but will replace the old document.
If a boolean is passed instead of an options object, it will be interpreted as
the _returnNew_ option.
**Examples**
```js
const db = new Database();
const collection = db.edgeCollection('edges');
const data = {some: 'data'};
const info = await collection.save(
data,
'vertices/start-vertex',
'vertices/end-vertex'
);
assert.equal(info._id, 'edges/' + info._key);
const edge = await collection.edge(edge)
assert.equal(edge._key, info._key);
assert.equal(edge._rev, info._rev);
assert.equal(edge.some, data.some);
assert.equal(edge._from, 'vertices/start-vertex');
assert.equal(edge._to, 'vertices/end-vertex');
// -- or --
const info = await collection.save({
some: 'data',
_from: 'verticies/start-vertex',
_to: 'vertices/end-vertex'
});
// ...
```
## edgeCollection.edges
`async edgeCollection.edges(documentHandle): Array<Object>`
Retrieves a list of all edges of the document with the given _documentHandle_.
**Arguments**
* **documentHandle**: `string`
The handle of the document to retrieve the edges of. This can be either the
`_id` of a document in the database, the `_key` of an edge in the collection,
or a document (i.e. an object with an `_id` or `_key` property).
**Examples**
```js
const db = new Database();
const collection = db.edgeCollection('edges');
await collection.import([
['_key', '_from', '_to'],
['x', 'vertices/a', 'vertices/b'],
['y', 'vertices/a', 'vertices/c'],
['z', 'vertices/d', 'vertices/a']
])
const edges = await collection.edges('vertices/a');
assert.equal(edges.length, 3);
assert.deepEqual(edges.map(edge => edge._key), ['x', 'y', 'z']);
```
## edgeCollection.inEdges
`async edgeCollection.inEdges(documentHandle): Array<Object>`
Retrieves a list of all incoming edges of the document with the given
_documentHandle_.
**Arguments**
* **documentHandle**: `string`
The handle of the document to retrieve the edges of. This can be either the
`_id` of a document in the database, the `_key` of an edge in the collection,
or a document (i.e. an object with an `_id` or `_key` property).
**Examples**
```js
const db = new Database();
const collection = db.edgeCollection('edges');
await collection.import([
['_key', '_from', '_to'],
['x', 'vertices/a', 'vertices/b'],
['y', 'vertices/a', 'vertices/c'],
['z', 'vertices/d', 'vertices/a']
]);
const edges = await collection.inEdges('vertices/a');
assert.equal(edges.length, 1);
assert.equal(edges[0]._key, 'z');
```
## edgeCollection.outEdges
`async edgeCollection.outEdges(documentHandle): Array<Object>`
Retrieves a list of all outgoing edges of the document with the given
_documentHandle_.
**Arguments**
* **documentHandle**: `string`
The handle of the document to retrieve the edges of. This can be either the
`_id` of a document in the database, the `_key` of an edge in the collection,
or a document (i.e. an object with an `_id` or `_key` property).
**Examples**
```js
const db = new Database();
const collection = db.edgeCollection('edges');
await collection.import([
['_key', '_from', '_to'],
['x', 'vertices/a', 'vertices/b'],
['y', 'vertices/a', 'vertices/c'],
['z', 'vertices/d', 'vertices/a']
]);
const edges = await collection.outEdges('vertices/a');
assert.equal(edges.length, 2);
assert.deepEqual(edges.map(edge => edge._key), ['x', 'y']);
```
## edgeCollection.traversal
`async edgeCollection.traversal(startVertex, opts): Object`
Performs a traversal starting from the given _startVertex_ and following edges
contained in this edge collection.
**Arguments**
* **startVertex**: `string`
The handle of the start vertex. This can be either the `_id` of a document in
the database, the `_key` of an edge in the collection, or a document (i.e. an
object with an `_id` or `_key` property).
* **opts**: `Object`
See
[the HTTP API documentation](../../../..//HTTP/Traversal/index.html)
for details on the additional arguments.
Please note that while _opts.filter_, _opts.visitor_, _opts.init_,
_opts.expander_ and _opts.sort_ should be strings evaluating to well-formed
JavaScript code, it's not possible to pass in JavaScript functions directly
because the code needs to be evaluated on the server and will be transmitted
in plain text.
**Examples**
```js
const db = new Database();
const collection = db.edgeCollection('edges');
await collection.import([
['_key', '_from', '_to'],
['x', 'vertices/a', 'vertices/b'],
['y', 'vertices/b', 'vertices/c'],
['z', 'vertices/c', 'vertices/d']
]);
const result = await collection.traversal('vertices/a', {
direction: 'outbound',
visitor: 'result.vertices.push(vertex._key);',
init: 'result.vertices = [];'
});
assert.deepEqual(result.vertices, ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']);
```
