#' Join new node attribute values using a data frame
#'
#' @description
#'
#' Join new node attribute values in a left join using a data frame. The use of
#' a left join in this function allows for no possibility that nodes in the
#' graph might be removed after the join.
#'
#' @inheritParams render_graph
#' @param df The data frame to use for joining.
#' @param by_graph Optional specification of the column in the graph's internal
#'   node data frame for the left join. If both `by_graph` and `by_df` are not
#'   provided, then a natural join will occur if there are columns in the
#'   graph's ndf and in `df` with identical names.
#' @param by_df Optional specification of the column in `df` for the left join.
#'   If both `by_graph` and `by_df` are not provided, then a natural join will
#'   occur if there are columns in the graph's ndf and in `df` with identical
#'   names.
#'
#' @return A graph object of class `dgr_graph`.

#' # common column name `id` in the different
