Validation ​

Éclair validates the graph against the Rivière schema before loading. Invalid graphs display an error message explaining what's wrong.

Common validation errors:

ErrorCause
Missing required fieldGraph is missing nodes, edges, or metadata
Invalid node typeNode has a type not in the allowed list
Orphan edgeEdge references a node ID that doesn't exist

Example Graphs ​

If you don't have a graph yet, try one of the example graphs included with Rivière:

  • ecommerce-complete.json — Full e-commerce system with multiple domains
  • simple-api.json — Minimal API with a few endpoints
