ArangoDB Views

Having a database as a backend to NetworkX allows us to delegate certain operations to the database.

This can be applied to the concept of NetworkX Views.

Below are a set of experimental overrides of the NetworkX Views that represent the nodes and edges of the graph. Overriding these classes allows us to implement custom logic for data filtering and updating in the database.

These classes are a work-in-progress. The main goal is to try to delegate data processing to ArangoDB, whenever possible.

To use these experimental views, you must set use_arango_views=True when creating a new graph object:

import nx_arangodb as nxadb

G = nxadb.Graph(name="MyGraph", use_arango_views=True)
