Neo4j Objects​

class Neo4j(DatabaseClient)

get_indexes​

def get_indexes() -> List[Neo4jIndex]

Returns a list of all database indexes (label and label-property types).

ensure_indexes​

def ensure_indexes(indexes: List[Neo4jIndex]) -> None

Ensures that database indexes match input indexes.

get_constraints​

def get_constraints(
) -> List[Union[Neo4jConstraintExists, Neo4jConstraintUnique]]

Returns a list of all database constraints (label and label-property types).

new_connection​

def new_connection() -> Connection

Creates new Neo4j connection.

save_node​

def save_node(node: Node) -> Node

Saves node to the database. If the node._id is not None it fetches the node with the same id from the database and updates it's fields. If the node has unique fields it fetches the nodes with the same unique fields from the database and updates it's fields. Otherwise it creates a new node with the same properties. Null properties are ignored.

load_node​

def load_node(node: Node) -> Optional[Node]

Loads a node from the database. If the node._id is not None it fetches the node from the database with that internal id. If the node has unique fields it fetches the node from the database with those unique fields set. Otherwise it tries to find any node in the database that has all properties set to exactly the same values. If no node is found or no properties are set it raises a GQLAlchemyError.

load_relationship​

def load_relationship(relationship: Relationship) -> Optional[Relationship]

Returns a relationship loaded from the database. If the relationship._id is not None it fetches the relationship from the database that has the same internal id. Otherwise it returns the relationship whose relationship._start_node_id and relationship._end_node_id and all relationship properties that are not None match the relationship in the database. If there is no relationship like that in the database, or if there are multiple relationships like that in the database, throws GQLAlchemyError.

save_relationship​

def save_relationship(relationship: Relationship) -> Optional[Relationship]

Saves a relationship to the database. If relationship._id is not None it finds the relationship in the database and updates it's properties with the values in relationship. If relationship._id is None, it creates a new relationship. If you want to set a relationship._id instead of creating a new relationship, use load_relationship first.
