Creating vertices and edges in DataStax Studio

Add Gremlin code to a notebook to create a simple two vertex, one edge graph.

  1. If necessary, start DataStax Studio and open the notebook you previously created.

  2. When you create a notebook, an empty graph instance is created and named after the value in the graph name field in the notebook’s connection. A local variable, g, is defined automatically and bound to that graph.

  3. Add a cell to the notebook.

  4. Ensure that Gremlin is selected in the menu for the notebook cell editor mode:

  5. Add the code to the cell to create some vertices and edges for the graph.

    schema.config().option('graph.schema_mode').set('Development')
    
    Vertex firstVertex = graph.addVertex(label, 'user', 'id', 1, 'name', 'Jo Dowe', 'role', 'customer')
    Vertex secondVertex = graph.addVertex(label,'product', 'id', 2, 'name', 'fountain pen')
    firstVertex.addEdge('bought', secondVertex)
    g.V()

    These lines of code, put DSE Graph in development mode, create two vertices, and connect them with a single edge.

  6. Select Run Cell to execute the code.

  7. Select Graph in Display toolbar. (By default, the Table view is displayed.)

    myFirstGraph
    My first graph
  8. Hover your mouse over a vertex to display its properties.

See the DSE Graph documentation.
