Can you elaborate on "extend the edge class"?

Here are some possible interpretations:


1/ You want to optimize the memory consumption for large graphs. The
edges and vertices still fit into uint32_t:

  using graph_t = compressed_sparse_row_graph<directedS,
    no_property, no_property, no_property,
    uint32_t /* Vertex */,
    uint32_t /* EdgeIndex */>;


2/ You want to store arbitrary metadata on your edges and retrieve this
edge data based on your graph and a specific edge descriptor:

  struct edge_data_t { int distance = 0; };

  using graph_t = compressed_sparse_row_graph<directedS,
    no_property, edge_data_t>;

  // ..

  auto duration = [&graph](auto edge) { return graph[edge].duration; };
  auto total = accumulate(edges(graph) | transformed(duration), 0);

This example is using "bundled properties". There is also the
possibility to store edge data external to the graph and not couple the
edge data's lifetime with the graph (e.g. if you need edge weights for a
particular algorithm in your use-case).


3/ You want to provide your own graph representation and make it a model
for the BGL graph concepts:

Here are some more BGL examples that should get you started:
