# EdgeDirection Class

The direction of a directed edge relative to a vertex.

```
def equals(o: Any): Boolean
def hashCode(): Int
def reverse: EdgeDirection
def toString(): String
```

**Example:**

```
import org.apache.spark._
import org.apache.spark.graphx._
import org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD

// Create an RDD for the vertices
val users: RDD[(VertexId, (String, String))] =
  sc.parallelize(Array((3L, ("rxin", "student")), (7L, ("jgonzal", "postdoc")),
                       (5L, ("franklin", "prof")), (2L, ("istoica", "prof")),
                       (4L, ("peter", "student"))))
// Create an RDD for edges
val relationships: RDD[Edge[String]] =
  sc.parallelize(Array(Edge(3L, 7L, "collab"),    Edge(5L, 3L, "advisor"),
                       Edge(2L, 5L, "colleague"), Edge(5L, 7L, "pi"),
                       Edge(4L, 0L, "student"),   Edge(5L, 0L, "colleague")))
// Define a default user in case there are relationship with missing user
val defaultUser = ("John Doe", "Missing")

// Build the initial Graph
val graph = Graph(users, relationships, defaultUser)

graph.collectNeighborIds(EdgeDirection.Either).take(5).foreach(println)
