Cache a count of edges (available in a selection) in the graph

From a graph object of class dgr_graph, get a count of edges available in a selection and cache that value in the graph for later retrieval using get_cache.

Selections of edges can be performed using the following select_... functions: select_edges(), select_last_edge(), or select_edges_by_node_id(). Selections of edges can also be performed using the following traversal functions: trav_out_edge(), trav_in_edge(), or trav_both_edge().

cache_edge_count_ws(graph, name = NULL)

Arguments

graph	a graph object of class dgr_graph.
name	an optional name for the cached vector.

Value

a graph object of class dgr_graph.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# Create a graph with 5 nodes and 4 edges
graph <-
  create_graph() %>%
  add_path(n = 5)

# Cache a count of edges after creating a selection
graph <-
  graph %>%
  select_edges_by_node_id(nodes = 2) %>%
  cache_edge_count_ws(name = "edge_count")

# Get the number of edges stored in the cache
graph %>%
  get_cache(name = "edge_count")
#> [1] 2
# }
