Facets and Edge Attributes in DQL

Dgraph supports facets — key value pairs on edges — as an extension to RDF triples. That is, facets add properties to edges, rather than to nodes. For example, a friend edge between two nodes may have a Boolean property of close friendship. Facets can also be used as weights for edges.

Though you may find yourself leaning towards facets many times, they should not be misused. It wouldn’t be correct modeling to give the friend edge a facet date_of_birth. That should be an edge for the friend. However, a facet like start_of_friendship might be appropriate. Facets are however not first class citizen in Dgraph like predicates.

Facet keys are strings and values can be string, bool, int, float and dateTime. For int and float, only 32-bit signed integers and 64-bit floats are accepted.

The following mutation is used throughout this section on facets. The mutation adds data for some peoples and, for example, records a since facet in mobile and car to record when Alice bought the car and started using the mobile number.

First we add some schema.

Facets i18n

Facets keys and values can use language-specific characters directly when mutating. But facet keys need to be enclosed in angle brackets <> when querying. This is similar to predicates. See Predicates i18n for more info.

Note Dgraph supports Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) for facet keys when querying.

Example:

{
  set {
    _:person1 <name> "Daniel" (वंश="स्पेनी", ancestry="Español") .
    _:person1 <dgraph.type> "Person" .
    _:person2 <name> "Raj" (वंश="हिंदी", ancestry="हिंदी") .
    _:person2 <dgraph.type> "Person" .
    _:person3 <name> "Zhang Wei" (वंश="चीनी", ancestry="中文") .
    _:person3 <dgraph.type> "Person" .
  }
}

Query, notice the <>’s:

{
  q(func: has(name)) {
    name @facets(<वंश>)
  }
}

Alias with facets

Alias can be specified while requesting specific predicates. Syntax is similar to how would request alias for other predicates. orderasc and orderdesc are not allowed as alias as they have special meaning. Apart from that anything else can be set as alias.

Here we set car_since, close_friend alias for since, close facets respectively.

{
   data(func: eq(name, "Alice")) {
     name
     mobile
     car @facets(car_since: since)
     friend @facets(close_friend: close) {
       name
     }

For uid edges like friend, facets go to the corresponding child under the key edge|facet. In the above example you can see that the close facet on the edge between Alice and Bob appears with the key friend|close along with Bob’s results.

    name
    friend @facets {
      name

Response

Bob has a car and it has a facet since, which, in the results, is part of the same object as Bob under the key car|since. Also, the close relationship between Bob and Alice is part of Bob’s output object. Charlie does not have car edge and thus only UID facets.

Filtering on facets

Dgraph supports filtering edges based on facets. Filtering works similarly to how it works on edges without facets and has the same available functions.

    friend @facets(a as close, b as relative)

Facets and Variable Propagation

Facet values of int and float can be assigned to variables and thus the values propagate.

Alice, Bob and Charlie each rated every movie. A value variable on facet rating maps movies to ratings. A query that reaches a movie through multiple paths sums the ratings on each path. The following sums Alice, Bob and Charlie’s ratings for the three movies.

{
  var(func: anyofterms(name, "Alice Bob Charlie")) {
    num_raters as math(1)
    rated @facets(r as rating) {
      total_rating as math(r) # sum of the 3 ratings
      average_rating as math(total_rating / num_raters)
    }
  }
  data(func: uid(total_rating)) {
    name
    val(total_rating)
    val(average_rating)

Note though that r is a map from movies to the sum of ratings on edges in the query reaching the movie. Hence, the following does not correctly calculate the average ratings for Alice and Bob individually — it calculates 2 times the average of both Alice and Bob’s ratings.

    name
    rated @facets(r as rating) {
