#' Get community membership using the Walktrap method

#' @description
#'
#' With the Walktrap community finding algorithm, obtain the group membership
#' values for each of the nodes in the graph.
#'
#' @inheritParams render_graph
#' @param steps the number of steps to take for each of the random walks.
#'
#' @return A data frame with group membership assignments for each of the nodes.
