Hello,
I regularly need an absloute value function in dgraph queries.
Would it be possible to add abs( <exp> )?
Today, I tried with:
math(cond(var<0, -var, var))
But when var is empty, it crashes with: Expected a value variable in cond but missing
So I ended up doing:
math(max(var, 0)-min(var, 0))
which doesn’t care if var is empty.
Hey @myo,
You can create a feature request for this on github. We’ll be able to work on it.
Hi @Neeraj, I thought feature requests moved here. The github issue section is now closed.
Oh, I totally forgot about that. Made this a feature request.
Thanks
@Neeraj and @myo not exactly. This place /users/dgraph is used to community conversations and questions. Issues must go to /issues/dgraph/.
Thx @MichelDiz, I’m not used to the new organisation yet.
I thought issues were set as tags, not from a given URL or path.
If I click on the menu, then issues, I can find this thread, so I don’t understand what the issues section is.
The Issues category that you see near the title is same as the Issues section that Michel talked about in the above conversation. Issues>Dgraph is the subcategory. 
Also, you can see all the issues for dgraph subcategory at http://discuss.hypermode.com/c/issues/dgraph/.
