#' Get a vector of edge ID values
#'
#' @description
#'
#' Obtain a vector of edge ID values from a graph object. An optional filter by
#' edge attribute can limit the set of edge ID values returned.
#'
#' @inheritParams render_graph
#' @param conditions an option to use filtering conditions for the retrieval of
#'   edges.
#'
#' @return A vector of edge ID values.
