It allows you to load Networq graphs, including it's dependencies, types and nodes. Once the graph is loaded, you can query it and iterate through it's data. Terms: ------ [](#terms) ### Node: [](#node) All data in Networq is a "Node". A node has a name (i.e. `mario`). Every node is part of a package (i.e. `acme:example`). The node name and the package name combined give a Fully Qualified Node Name (FQNN) (i.e. `acme:example:mario`). Other than the name/fqnn, a node doesn't have any properties of it's own. A Node can be tagged with one or more Types, which give the node it's available properties. For example, tagging the `acme:example:mario` node with the `acme:example:character` type allows you to specify the `debut` field for Mario, linking it to the game that Mario debuted in. ### Package [](#package) A "Package" is a reusable set of Types and Nodes. Packages can be shared and live in their own Git Repository. A Package defines Types (in the package's `types/` directory) using YAML files. A Package can optionally define a set of `Nodes`. Nodes in packages are therefor also reusable and lets you share reference data or standardized lists (like countries, operating systems, etc). A Package can optionally define `Widgets`, which are simple HTML templates (in the `templates/` directory) which get injected into the User Interface when a user is viewing a Node of a given Type. A Package always has a `package.yaml` file in the root of it's repository. The `package.yaml` file defines the Package's name, description, license etc. And lists an optional set of dependencies: other packages that this package depends on. ### Types [](#types) A "Type" defines what properties a Node can have. A type has a name (i.e. `vegetable`) and is part of a package (i.e. `acme:food`). Combining the Type name and Package Name gives you a Fully Qualified Type Name (FQTN) (i.e. `acme:food:vegetable`). Types are defined by creating `.yaml` files in the `types/` directory of a package. They are automatically loaded when the package is loaded. Types optionally define a list of Fields for the type. Only nodes tagged with this type will have the listed fields. A Field can be either a `string` (simple text), or a FQTN. When you specify a FQTN for a Field, you can only assign nodes that are tagged with this type. A Field can be a single value (default), or a list of values (by appending \[\] to the end of the Field type definition). ### Tags [](#tags) A "Tag" is simply the link between a Node and a Type. One Node can contain multiple Tags.
