#' Get edge attribute values
#'
#' @description
#'
#' From a graph object of class `dgr_graph`, get edge attribute values for one
#' or more edges.
#'
#' @inheritParams render_graph
#' @param edge_attr the name of the attribute for which to get values.
#' @param from an optional vector of node IDs from which the edge is outgoing
#'   for filtering the list of edges.
#' @param to an optional vector of node IDs from which the edge is incoming for
#'   filtering the list of edges.
#'
#' @return A named vector of edge attribute values for the attribute given by
#'   `edge_attr` by edge.
