🚀 Getting Started

1. Import the Module

Import-Module ./ActiveShell.psm1 -Force

2. Create a New Graph

Create-ActiveGraph -GraphName "MyGraph" -Type "JSON" -Metadata @{ Creator = "Callum"; Date = (Get-Date) }

3. Add Nodes

Add-Node -NodeName "PharmacyA" -Type "Pharmacy" -Domain "Healthcare" -Metadata @{ Rating = 4.8; Address = "123 Meds St" }
Add-Node -NodeName "PharmacyB" -Type "Pharmacy" -Domain "Healthcare" -Metadata @{ Rating = 4.9; Address = "789 Meds Lane" }

4. Create Relationships (Edges)

Create-Edge -Source "PharmacyA" -Target "PharmacyB" -Relationship "PartnersWith"

5. Query the Graph

Retrieve all nodes:

Get-All-Nodes

Retrieve pharmacies with a rating > 4.5:

Get-Node -NodeType "Pharmacy" | Where-Object { $_.Metadata['Rating'] -gt 4.5 }

2. Supply Chains

Track dependencies between manufacturers, distributors, and retailers:

Create-Edge -Source "ManufacturerA" -Target "DistributorA" -Relationship "Supplies"
Create-Edge -Source "DistributorA" -Target "RetailerA" -Relationship "DeliversTo"

3. Social Networks

Analyze connections between individuals, organizations, and communities:

Create-Edge -Source "UserA" -Target "UserB" -Relationship "FriendsWith"
Create-Edge -Source "UserB" -Target "OrganizationA" -Relationship "MemberOf"
