Description

The property() step is a sideEffect. When a vertex is added from a traversal g using addV, properties can be added with property(). For a previously created vertex, properties can be added. A previously created vertex label must be specified. Property key-value pairs are specified.

Examples

Create a vertex with a vertex label person with the properties personId with value 17and name with value

Jamie
        Oliver

:

g.addV('person').
   property('personId', 17).
   property('name','Jamie Oliver').next()

Add the properties gender with value M and nickname with value jimmy to a person vertex previously created:

g.V().has('person', 'name', 'Jamie Oliver').
   property('gender', 'M').
   property('nickname', 'jimmy')

Add the property withSuppliedId with value 341f9950-997c-11e7-9579-7f50358d3f8d to a person vertex:

// user-supplied property ID
g.addV('person').
   property('withSuppliedId', 'propValue', T.id, UUID.fromString('341f9950-997c-11e7-9579-7f50358d3f8d'))
