If the graph passed to
SymbolGraphNavigatoris not correctly structured or doesn’t have all the necessary details, the various methods in the class likeget_potential_symbol_callees,get_potential_symbol_calless, etc., might return incomplete or incorrect results. It would be best to perform a validation check on the graph before passing it toSymbolGraphNavigator.As for handling missing or incorrect labels on the graph edges, one approach could be to raise informative errors when such labels are not found. The error message could include details about what labels were expected and suggestions about how to fix the graph. Alternatively, the class could provide a method for adding or updating labels on the graph edges.
Whether or not functionality should be added to modify the graph in
SymbolGraphNavigatordepends on the use cases of this class. Currently, the class seems to be designed mainly for navigating the graph and querying relationships between the symbols. If there were use cases where the graph needed to be modified after the initial creation, then it would be worth considering the addition of graph modification functionality. However, if such needs arise, it might be more appropriate to handle them in a separate class, in order to keep the responsibilities ofSymbolGraphNavigatorclearly defined and its implementation more manageable. Another approach could be to have a separateSymbolGraphUpdaterorSymbolGraphEditorclass responsible for adding, deleting or modifying nodes or edges in the graph.
