# GraphEdgeCollection API
The _GraphEdgeCollection API_ extends the
[_Collection API_](../Collection/README.md) with the following methods.
## graphEdgeCollection.remove
`async graphEdgeCollection.remove(documentHandle): Object`
Deletes 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 graph = db.graph("some-graph");
const collection = graph.edgeCollection("edges");
await collection.remove("some-key");
// document 'edges/some-key' no longer exists
// -- or --
await collection.remove("edges/some-key");
// document 'edges/some-key' no longer exists
```
## graphEdgeCollection.documentExists
`async graphEdgeCollection.documentExists(documentHandle): boolean`
Checks whether the edge with the given _documentHandle_ exists.
**Arguments**
- **documentHandle**: `string`
The handle of the edge to retrieve. This can be either the `_id` or the
`_key` of a edge in the collection, or an edge (i.e. an object with an
`_id` or `_key` property).
**Examples**
```js
const graph = db.graph("some-graph");
const collection = graph.edgeCollection("edges");
const exists = await collection.documentExists("some-key");
if (exists === false) {
// the edge does not exist
}
```
## graphEdgeCollection.document
`async graphEdgeCollection.document(documentHandle, [opts]): Object`
Alias: `graphEdgeCollection.edge`.
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).
- **opts**: `Object` (optional)
If _opts_ is set, it must be an object with any of the following properties:
- **graceful**: `boolean` (Default: `false`)
If set to `true`, the method will return `null` instead of throwing an
error if the edge does not exist.
- **allowDirtyRead**: `boolean` (Default: `false`)
{% hint 'info' %}
This option is only available when targeting ArangoDB 3.4 or later,
see [Compatibility](../../GettingStarted/README.md#compatibility).
{% endhint %}
If set to `true`, the request will explicitly permit ArangoDB to return a
potentially dirty or stale result and arangojs will load balance the
request without distinguishing between leaders and followers.
If a boolean is passed instead of an options object, it will be interpreted as
the _graceful_ option.
**Examples**
```js
const graph = db.graph("some-graph");
const collection = graph.edgeCollection("edges");
const edge = await collection.document("some-key");
// the edge exists
assert.equal(edge._key, "some-key");
assert.equal(edge._id, "edges/some-key");
// -- or --
const edge = await collection.document("edges/some-key");
// the edge exists
assert.equal(edge._key, "some-key");
assert.equal(edge._id, "edges/some-key");
// -- or --
const edge = await collection.document("some-key", true);
if (edge === null) {
// the edge does not exist
}
```
## graphEdgeCollection.save
`async graphEdgeCollection.save(data, [fromId, toId]): Object`
Creates a new edge between the vertices _fromId_ and _toId_ with the given
_data_.
**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).
**Examples**
```js
const db = new Database();
const graph = db.graph("some-graph");
const collection = graph.edgeCollection("edges");
const edge = await collection.save(
{ some: "data" },
"vertices/start-vertex",
"vertices/end-vertex"
);
assert.equal(edge._id, "edges/" + edge._key);
assert.equal(edge.some, "data");
assert.equal(edge._from, "vertices/start-vertex");
assert.equal(edge._to, "vertices/end-vertex");
```
## graphEdgeCollection.edges
`async graphEdgeCollection.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 graph = db.graph("some-graph");
const collection = graph.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"]);
```
## graphEdgeCollection.inEdges
`async graphEdgeCollection.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 graph = db.graph("some-graph");
const collection = graph.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");
```
## graphEdgeCollection.outEdges
`async graphEdgeCollection.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 graph = db.graph("some-graph");
const collection = graph.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"]);
```
## graphEdgeCollection.traversal
`async graphEdgeCollection.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 graph = db.graph("some-graph");
const collection = graph.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"]);
```
