My use case is to build a Graph from data coming from a DB. When there are changes to it, I want to persist it back to DB.
For this to work, I am currently abusing the labels from vertices and edges. For vertex it is a Keyword list and for edges it is a map.
It would be much more convenient if there was a metadata field for both and a function to set it. Something like:
metadata
Graph.put_metadata(g, v, %{id: 1234, comment: "some comment"}) # sets metadata for vertex Graph.put_metadata(g, v1, v2, l, %{id: 1234, comment: "some comment"}) # sets metadata for edge
I can create a PR if this is a worthwhile feature.
I would also like to attach arbitrary metadata to edges!
This would be very nice to have. I'm similarly abusing labels to store metadata on edges.
It definitely is.
