Arangodb: Traversal using only 1 type of edges

I have a edges collections with a "type" property.

What is an example of an AQL that traverse using only, for example,edge with type="A"?

Solution

  • As could be expected, you use filters, e.g.:

    FOR v, e, p IN 1..5 OUTBOUND 'collection/root' GRAPH 'graph'
    FILTER p.edges[*].type == "A"
    RETURN p

    This query filters on the path p, the 1..5 litmits the length of paths considered.

    The documentation on traversals covers a lot of ground and gives examples to get you started: https://docs.arangodb.com/3.11/aql/graphs/traversals/
