    the other node

  • props (Hash<Symbol, Object>) (defaults to: nil) —

    optionally properties for the created relationship

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if the node exists

#get_property(key, value) ⇒ Object

def labels()
  raise 'not implemented'
end

#node(specs = {}) ⇒ Object

Returns the only node of a given type and direction that is attached to this node, or nil. This is a convenience method that is used in the commonly occuring situation where a node has exactly zero or one relationships of a given type and direction to another node. Typically this invariant is maintained by the rest of the code: if at any time more than one such relationships exist, it is a fatal error that should generate an exception.

This method reflects that semantics and returns either:

  • nil if there are zero relationships of the given type and direction,

  • the relationship if there’s exactly one, or

  • throws an exception in all other cases.

This method should be used only in situations with an invariant as described above. In those situations, a “state-checking” method (e.g. #rel?) is not required, because this method behaves correctly “out of the box.”

def node(specs = {})

end

#nodes(specs = {}) ⇒ Enumerable<Neo4j::Node>

This method is abstract.
Note:

it’s possible that the same node is returned more than once because of several relationship reaching to the same node, see #outgoing for alternative

Works like #rels method but instead returns the nodes. It does try to load a Ruby wrapper around each node

Parameters:

  • match (Hash) —

    the options to create a message with.

Returns:

  • (Enumerable<Neo4j::Node>) —

    an Enumeration of either Neo4j::Node objects or wrapped Neo4j::Node objects

# File 'lib/neo4j/node.rb', line 176

def nodes(specs = {})
  #rels(specs).map{|n| n.other_node(self)}
end

#props ⇒ Hash<Symbol, Object>

Returns all properties of the node.

Returns:

  • (Hash<Symbol, Object>) —

    all properties of the node

# File 'lib/neo4j/node.rb', line 24

def props()

end

#props=(properties) ⇒ Object

replace all properties with new properties

Parameters:

  • properties (Hash<Symbol, Object>) —

    a hash of properties the node should have

# File 'lib/neo4j/node.rb', line 30

# File 'lib/neo4j/node.rb', line 35

def refresh
  raise 'not implemented'

#rel(spec = {}) ⇒ Object

Same as #node but returns the relationship. Notice it may raise an exception if there are more then one relationship matching.

# File 'lib/neo4j/node.rb', line 151

def rel(spec = {})

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def rel?(spec = {})
  raise 'not implemented'
end

#rels(match = {dir: :both}) ⇒ Enumerable<Neo4j::Relationship>

Returns an enumeration of relationships. It always returns relationships of depth one.

Examples:

Return both incoming and outgoing relationships of any type

node_a.rels

All outgoing or incoming relationship of type friends

node_a.rels(type: :friends)

All outgoing relationships between me and another node of type friends

node_a.rels(type: :friends, dir: :outgoing, between: node_b)

Parameters:

  • match (Hash) (defaults to: {dir: :both}) —

    the options to create a message with.

Options Hash (match):

  • :dir (Symbol) —

    dir the direction of the relationship, allowed values: :both, :incoming, :outgoing.

  • :type (Symbol) —

    the type of relationship to navigate

  • :between (Symbol) —

    return all the relationships between this and given node

Returns:
