Count

Syntax Examples:

count(predicate)
count(uid)

The form count(predicate) counts how many predicate edges lead out of a node.

The form count(uid) counts the number of UIDs matched in the enclosing block.

Query Example: The number of films acted in by each actor with Orlando in their name.

{
  me(func: allofterms(name@en, "Orlando")) @filter(has(actor.film)) {
    name@en
    count(actor.film)
  }
}

Count can be used at root and aliased.

Query Example: Count of directors who have directed more than five films. When used at the query root, the count index is required.

{
  directors(func: gt(count(director.film), 5)) {
    totalDirectors : count(uid)
  }
}

Count can be assigned to a value variable.

Query Example: The actors of Ang Lee’s “Eat Drink Man Woman” ordered by the number of movies acted in.

{
  var(func: allofterms(name@en, "eat drink man woman")) {
    starring {
      actors as performance.actor {
        totalRoles as count(actor.film)
      }
    }
  }

  edmw(func: uid(actors), orderdesc: val(totalRoles)) {
    name@en
    name@zh
    totalRoles : val(totalRoles)
  }
