neocy

neocy

Neo4j Cypher library using promises and transactions.

Usage

For simple transactions:

const Neo4j = require('neocy');
let neo4j = new Neo4j();
neo4j.init('127.0.0.1', 7474, 'neo4j', 'password');

let result;
try {
  result = await neo4j.simpleTransaction([
    'MATCH (u:User {uid: {params}.uid})',
    'RETURN u'
  ], {
    params: {
      uid: '134'
    }
  });
} catch (error) {
  result = {
    error
  };
}
return result || {};

For more complicated transactions involving mulitple queries:

const Neo4j = require('neocy');
let neo4j = new Neo4j();
neo4j.init('127.0.0.1', 7474, 'neo4j', 'password');

let users = [
  {
    uid: "111",
    name: "John Smith"
  },
  {
    uid: "134",
    name: "Carlos Justiniano"
  },
];
let transaction = neo4j.createTransaction();

users.forEach((user) => {
  let q = neo4j.createQueryBuilder();
  q.add([
    'CREATE (u:User {uid: {params}.uid, name: {params}.name})'
  ]);
  transaction.addQuery(q, {
    params: user
  });
});

let result;
try {
  result = await neo4j.getSimpleListData(await transaction.execute());
} catch (error) {
  result = {
    error
  };
}
return result || {};

API

Method	Description	Notes
init	Initialize Neo4j Graph Database	Required
createTransaction	Creates a transaction object	See Transaction API section
createQueryBuilder	Creates a new query builder object	See Query Build API section
getSimpleData	Helper to extract simple data responses	Simple data is defined as a single return value. A single object qualifies
getSimpleListData	Helper to extract simple arrat of data responses	Similar to getSimpleData but returns and array of objects
toProps	Convert an object of properties to a property query string
toNamedProps	Converts a named object to a cypher compatible key / value pair
toSets	Converts an object to a cypher compatible list of set statements
simpleTransaction	Performs a simple transaction consisting of only a single transactions.

Transaction API

Method	Description	Notes
addQuery	Appends a query to the transaction's list of query statements	Requires a Query Builder object and params
execute	Executes a transaction

Query Builder API

Method	Description	Notes
add	Adds a partial query statement
toString	Returns the full query as a string

Tests

The specs folder contains tests.

To run the tests you first need to install mocha:
