No Maintenance Intended

⚠️ Deprecated ⚠️

This library is deprecated and will no longer be updated.

OGMNeo

Abstract some trivial operations on the Neo4j driver for Nodejs and make the use simpler. That's why we created OGMNeo.

npm version npm MIT Travis Codecov

Installation

You can find ogmneo in npm here and install using the follow command

 npm install ogmneo

Usage

Connecting to neo4j database

const ogmneo = require('ogmneo');
ogmneo.Connection.connect('neo4j', 'databasepass', 'localhost');
// Or if you want to add some neo4j driver configuration options 
ogmneo.Connection.connect('neo4j', 'databasepass', 'localhost', { maxTransactionRetryTime: 30000, encrypted: false });
// See more about the config options you can add on: http://neo4j.com/docs/api/javascript-driver/current/function/index.html#static-function-driver

OGMNeo connects using the neo4j bolt protocol.

Log generated cypher on console

You can see the generated Cypher on your console by setting Connection.logCypherEnabled property true.

const ogmneo = require('ogmneo');
ogmneo.Connection.logCypherEnabled = true;

Create node example

  const ogmneo = require('ogmneo');
  
  ogmneo.Node.create({ name: 'name', tes: 3 }, 'test')
  .then((node) => {
       //Created returned object => {id: 1, name: 'name', tes: 3}
  }).catch((error) => {
       //Handle error
  });

Find Nodes

  const ogmneo = require('ogmneo');
  
  let query = ogmneo.Query.create('test')
                             .where(new ogmneo.Where('name', { $eq: 'name1' }));

  ogmneo.Node.find(query)
  .then((nodes) => {
      //Found nodes.
  }).catch((error) => {
      //Handle error.
  });

Create relations

You can create relations between nodes.

  const ogmneo = require('ogmneo');
  ogmneo.Relation.relate(node1.id, 'relatedto', node2.id, {property: 'a'})
  .then((rels) => {
        // Created relation node {id: 2, type: 'relatedto', property: 'a'}
  }).catch((error) => {
        //Handle error
  });

Find Relations

You can find the relation nodes.

  const ogmneo = require('ogmneo');
  
  let query = ogmneo.RelationQuery.create('relatedto')
                                 .startNode(node1.id)
                                 .endNode(node2.id)
                                 .relationWhere(ogmneo.Where.create('property', { $eq: 'c' }))
                                 .ascOrderBy('property')
                                 .limit(3);
  ogmneo.Relation.find(query)
  .then((nodes) => {
        //Found relation nodes.
  }).catch((error) => {
        //Handle error.
  });
  
  //OR
  
  ogmneo.Relation.findPopulated(query)
  .then((nodes) => {
        //Found relation nodes with start and end nodes populated.
  }).catch((error) => {
        //Handle error.
  });
  

Executing Cypher

You can execute Cypher using the direct Neo4j Driver session object. Or you can use OGMNeoCypher.

  const ogmneo = require('ogmneo');

  ogmneo.Cypher.transactionalRead(cypherStatement)
  .then((result) => {
     console.log(result);
  }).catch((error) => {
     reject(error);
  });
  
  //OR
   ogmneo.Cypher.transactionalWrite(cypherStatement)
  .then((result) => {
     console.log(result);
  }).catch((error) => {
     reject(error);
  });
  

Creating and dropping indexes

You can create and drop indexes in properties.

  const ogmneo = require('ogmneo');
  //Creating
  ogmneo.Index.create('label', ['property'])
  .then((result) => {
     //Handle creation
  });
  //Dropping
  ogmneo.Index.drop('label', ['property'])
  .then((result) => {
     //Handle drop
  });

Operation API

Almost every method of ogmneo.Node and ogmneo.Relation have now the Operation API, that instead of executing the function on database returning a promise, it creates an ogmneo.Operation object that can be executed after by the ogmneo.OperationExecuter. Exemple:

  const ogmneo = require('ogmneo');
  
  let operation = ogmneo.Node.createOperation({ name: 'name', tes: 3 }, 'test');
  ogmneo.OperationExecuter.execute(operation)
  .then((node) => {
       //Created returned object => {id: 1, name: 'name', tes: 3}
  }).catch((error) => {
       //Handle error
  });

Transactional API

With the Operation API we can now execute as many READ or WRITE operations on the same transaction. For example, you want to create nodes and then relate those two. But if the relationship operation fails you want to rollback all the operations.

  const ogmneo = require('ogmneo');
  
  let createDriver = ogmneo.Node.createOperation({name: 'Ayrton Senna', carNumber: 12 }, 'Driver');
  ogmneo.OperationExecuter.write((transaction) => {
        return ogmneo.OperationExecuter.execute(createDriver, transaction)
                               .then((driver) => {
                                    let createCar = ogmneo.Node.createOperation({name: 'MP4/4'}, 'Car');
                                    return ogmneo.OperationExecuter.execute(createCar, transaction).then((car) => {
                                       let relate = ogmneo.Relation.relateOperation(driver.id, 'DRIVES', car.id, {year: 1988});
                                       return ogmneo.OperationExecuter.execute(relate, transaction);
                                    });
                               });
    }).then((result) => {
       //Result here
    });

All of those operations will be executed on the same transaction and you can rollback anytime you want. The transaction is the neo4j driver transaction object and you can see more about it on their docs here.

Batching operation in a single transaction

You can also batch many operation READ or WRITE operations in a single transaction.

    const ogmneo = require('ogmneo');
  
    let createUser1 = OGMNeoNode.createOperation({name: 'Ayrton Senna'}, 'Person');
    let createUser2 = OGMNeoNode.createOperation({name: 'Alain Prost'}, 'Person');

    ogmneo.OperationExecuter.batchWriteOperations([createUser1, createUser2]).then((result) => {
        let created1 = result[0];
        let created2 = result[1];
        console.log(created1.name); // 'Ayrton Senna'
        console.log(created2.name); // 'Alain Prost'
    });

If one of those fails, all other operations on the transaction will be rolledback automatically.
