#' Get node attribute values
#'
#' @description
#'
#' From a graph object of class `dgr_graph`, get node attribute values for one
#' or more nodes.
#'
#' @inheritParams render_graph
#' @param nodes An optional vector of node IDs for filtering list of nodes
#'   present in the graph or node data frame.
#' @param node_attr The name of the attribute for which to get values.
#'
#' @return A named vector of node attribute values for the attribute given by
#'   `node_attr` by node ID.
#'
#' @examples
#' # Create a random graph using the
#' # `add_gnm_graph()` function
#' graph <-
#'   create_graph() %>%

#'   set_node_attrs(
#'     node_attr = value,
#'     values = c(2.5, 8.2, 4.2, 2.4))

#' # Get all of the values from
#' # the `value` node attribute
#' # as a named vector
#' graph %>%
