Overview

Allows for generation of cypher queries via ruby method calls (inspired by ActiveRecord / arel syntax)

Can be used to express cypher queries in ruby nicely, or to more easily generate queries programatically.

Also, queries can be passed around an application to progressively build a query across different concerns

#break ⇒ Object

Allows what’s been built of the query so far to be frozen and the rest built anew. Can be called multiple times in a string of method calls

Examples:

# Creates a query representing the cypher: MATCH (q:Person), r:Car MATCH (p: Person)-->q
Query.new.match(q: Person).match('r:Car').break.match('(p: Person)-->q')

Query.new.match(n: :Person).set_props(n: {age: 19})

#start(*args) ⇒ Query

START clause

Returns:

#to_a ⇒ Array

Class is Enumerable. Each yield is a Hash with the key matching the variable returned and the value being the value for that key from the response

Returns:

  • (Array)

Raises:

  • (ActiveGraph::Server::CypherResponse::ResponseError) —

    Raises errors from neo4j server

#union_cypher(other, options = {}) ⇒ String

Returns a CYPHER query specifying the union of the callee object’s query and the argument’s query

Examples:

# Generates cypher: MATCH (n:Person) UNION MATCH (o:Person) WHERE o.age = 10
q = ActiveGraph::Core::Query.new.match(o: :Person).where(o: {age: 10})
result = ActiveGraph::Core::Query.new.match(n: :Person).union_cypher(q)

Parameters:

  • other (Query) —

    Second half of UNION

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    Specify true to use UNION ALL

Returns:

  • (String) —

    Resulting UNION cypher query string
