Interface EdgeBuilder<V,E>

Type Parameters:

V - the type of the decorated vertex value

E - the type of the decorated edge value

public interface EdgeBuilder<V,E>

Edge Builder is used inside the GraphBuilder and is responsible to create a fluent way on how to create an edge between two vertices

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
GraphBuilder<V,E>	to(V value)	Create an edge to the vertex that decorates value.
GraphBuilder<V,E>	toByKey(Object key)	Creates an edge to the vertex that is identified by the key.
EdgeDataBuilder<V,E>	toData(V value)	Creates an edge to the vertex that decorates value and returns an EdgeDataBuilder that allows to add a value to the created edge.
EdgeDataBuilder<V,E>	toDataByKey(Object key)	Creates an edge to the vertex that is identified by the key and returns an EdgeDataBuilder that allows to add a value to the created edge.
EdgeWithBuilder<V,E>	toWith(V value)	Creates an edge to the vertex that decorates value and returns an EdgeWithBuilder that allows to add a callback method, that is called with the created edge.
EdgeWithBuilder<V,E>	toWithByKey(Object key)	Creates an edge to the vertex that is identified by the key and returns an EdgeWithBuilder that allows to add a callback method, that is called with the created edge.

Method Detail

to

GraphBuilder<V,E> to(V value)

Create an edge to the vertex that decorates value.

Parameters:

value - the value of the decorated vertex

Returns:

the graph original graph builder

toByKey

GraphBuilder<V,E> toByKey(Object key)

Creates an edge to the vertex that is identified by the key.

Parameters:

key - the key which identifies the vertex

Returns:

the graph original graph builder

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if no vertex with given key was found

toData

EdgeDataBuilder<V,E> toData(V value)

Creates an edge to the vertex that decorates value and returns an EdgeDataBuilder that allows to add a value to the created edge.

Parameters:

value - the value of the decorated vertex

Returns:

a EdgeDataBuilder

toDataByKey

EdgeDataBuilder<V,E> toDataByKey(Object key)

Creates an edge to the vertex that is identified by the key and returns an EdgeDataBuilder that allows to add a value to the created edge.

Parameters:

key - the key which identifies the vertex

Returns:

a EdgeDataBuilder

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if no vertex with given key was found

toWith

EdgeWithBuilder<V,E> toWith(V value)

Creates an edge to the vertex that decorates value and returns an EdgeWithBuilder that allows to add a callback method, that is called with the created edge. This allows to e.g. add MetaTags.

Parameters:

value - the value of the decorated vertex

Returns:

a EdgeWithBuilder

toWithByKey

EdgeWithBuilder<V,E> toWithByKey(Object key)

Creates an edge to the vertex that is identified by the key and returns an EdgeWithBuilder that allows to add a callback method, that is called with the created edge. This allows to e.g. add MetaTags.

Parameters:

key - the key which identifies the vertex

Returns:

a EdgeWithBuilder

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if no vertex with given key was found
