#' Get coreness values for graph nodes
#'
#' @description
#'
#' Get the coreness values for all nodes in a graph.
#'
#' @inheritParams render_graph
#' @param direction using `all` (the default), the search will ignore edge
#'   direction while traversing through the graph. With `out`, measurements
#'   of paths will be from a node whereas with `in`, measurements of paths
#'   will be to a node.
#'
#' @return A data frame with coreness values for each of the nodes.
#'

#' # `add_gnm_graph()` function
