add-vertex-by-struct

The basics on adding vertices using the AddVertexByStruct function from a Grammes client.

Description

add-vertex-by-struct demonstrates how to add vertices to the graph using a Grammes client. Specifically this example shows how to add vertices using the AddVertexByStruct function which allows for grammes.Vertex to be fed through as parameters to construct a vertex on the graph. Then this function will return the added vertex as a struct. (This new Vertex struct will have updated fields including the Vertex's ID on the graph).

Prerequisites

• go 1.12
• Git
• Elastic Search
• Cassandra
  • Java 8

Running

To run this test you will need a TinkerPop server running and a graph database to connect to locally. This example was tested while using JanusGraph which can be used by locating yourself to the root directory of the Grammes project.

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/00security/grammes

After locating yourself here then you may change directory to the /scripts folder.

cd scripts

Finally you may run the janusgraph.sh script to begin a local instance of JanusGraph. This will begin the TinkerPop server for you as well.

./janusgraph.sh

For further instructions please find yourself to the root README.md file.

Steps

General steps

• Create a zap logger to help explain what's going on in the test and display the results.
• Creates a Grammes client that connects to a locally hosted TinkerPop server with a WebSocket.
  • For testing this was created using JanusGraph. This can be run in the /scripts directory.
• Drop all of the possible interfering vertices that were already on the graph.
• Defer a drop of all the testing vertices. This is done as clean up.

Test specific steps

• Adds a vertex to the graph using a Vertex struct
• Logs the vertex count
