Weknow Cypher Builder Beta.

Usage

• Weknow.Cypher.Builder: Produce Cypher Query from structural C# builder.
  dotnet add package Weknow.Cypher.Builder
• Weknow.GraphDbClient.Abstraction: Abstract Graph Database client.
  dotnet add package Weknow.GraphDbClient.Abstraction
• Weknow.GraphDbClient.Redis: Client implementation for Redis Graph (Not implementes yet).
  dotnet add package Weknow.GraphDbClient.Redis
• Weknow.GraphDbClient.Neo4j: Client implementation for Neo4j.
  dotnet add package Weknow.GraphDbClient.Neo4j

Goals

Cypher Builder aim to be developer friendly library for cypher query. It bring as match intellisense & cypher correction as it can while keeping the Cypher expression readable and well documented.

When this library evolve over time, we consider:

• Source code generation which will provide a type-safe parameters
• Analyzer which will recommend best practice

Samples

var n = Variables.Create();
var Id = Parameters.Create();
CypherCommand cypher = _(() => Match(N(n, Person & Manager, new { Id }))
                        .Return(n));

Produce:

MATCH (n:Person:Manager {{ Id: $Id }}) RETURN n

---

var items = Parameters.Create();
var n = Variables.Create();
var map = Variables.Create<Foo>();

CypherCommand cypher = _(() =>
                        Unwind(items, map,
                        Merge(N(n, Person, new { map.__.Id, map.__.Name }))
                        .OnCreateSet(n, map)
                        .Return(n)),
                        cfg => cfg.Naming.Convention = CypherNamingConvention.SCREAMING_CASE);

Produce:

UNWIND $items AS map
MERGE (n:me1.Member.Name {{ Id: map.Id, Name: map.Name }})
  ON CREATE SET n = map
RETURN n

Note: The label Person become me1.Member.Name because of the SCREAMING_CASE convention

GraphDb Client

Make your first insert

1. Define a schema

public ILabel Person => throw new NotImplementedException();
public IType Follow => throw new NotImplementedException();

Yes, we believe in schema 😃

2. Create entity class/record.

[Dictionaryable(Flavor = Flavor.Neo4j)]
private partial record Person(string name, int age);

Node: [Dictionaryable] is using Weknow.Mapping.Generation.SrcGen in order to generate serialization code out of record Person.

3. Write a Cypher query.

var map = Parameters.Create<PersonEntity>();

CypherCommand cypher = _(user =>
                        Create(N(user, Person, map)));

Produce: CREATE (user:Person $map)

4. To execute the query, you can use GraphDb Client.

CypherParameters prms = cypher.Parameters
                              .AddOrUpdate(nameof(map), new Person("Nina", 76));
await _graphDB.RunAsync(cypher, prms);
