[dna-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (DNA-266) Improve usability of graph API with additional methods

Improve usability of graph API with additional methods ------------------------------------------------------ Key: DNA-266 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-266 Project: DNA Issue Type: Feature Request Components: API, Graph Affects Versions: 0.3 Reporter: Randall Hauch Assignee: Randall Hauch Priority: Minor Fix For: 0.4 Provide an easy way to set references to nodes as property values. Currently, one has to get the node, obtain a reference value factory, create the reference, then set the property using that value. It's pretty impossible to make a single chained call that does all this. Also, provide additional flexibility when setting properties. Currently, the only way to set a property is to do the following: graph.set("propName").to("value").on("/node1"); but it would also be nice to reverse the "on" and "to" methods, such as: graph.set("propName").on("/node1").to("value");
