A list of frequently asked questions

Can other users access my Workspaces and query my Graphs?

Currently Gremlify does not offer private Workspaces, it is in our near future plans though.

On the other hand, in each Workspace visit, a Graph is deduced out of the saved structure (Nodes, Edges and their properties). That means that the actual Graph entities (entities with id) are created from scratch every time a Workspace is opened.

To sum it up, other people who access your Workspace can not query the same actual entities, but they will be able to see your Graph structure and query you saved.

What happens when I click on "Save"?

When clicking on "save", Gremlify extracts the following information out of your Workspace: the Workspace metadata (title, description), the Graph structure and the query, and creates a new replica out of it, and generates a unique URL for it. That means that Gremlify does not override any Workspace, but instead "forks" it.

My Loaded Workspace shows different Ids for my entities ever time I open it

As described with details here, a Workspace contains the Graph Structure, not the actual entities. That means that by loading a Workspace, Gremlify will infer the actual Graph from the specified structure, and this will assign new id for each created entity.

What Queries are supported by Gremlify?

We are doing our best to support all Gremlin steps, but if from some reason you used a valid step which is not supported by us, you will get the following error in the Results panel:

{
   "error":"Unknown Traversal Source step - NewAwesomeValidStep"
}

Generally speaking, Gremlify supports "one liner" queries only. That means that every valid Gremlify query will start with:

g.

For more information, refer to Compose Queries.

Do I need to add terminal steps in my queries?

Nope. Simply write your queries and hit "Run", and let Gremlify do the rest.

How do I initialise a graph? do I even need to?

No, you don't. Gremlify has already done that for you. Commands such as g = TinkerGraph.open().traversal() are not required in Gremlify.

Can I use Lambdas?

No, currently lambdas are not supported.

What version of TinkerPop is supported?

Currently Gremlify uses TinkerPop 3.7.3.
