neo4jshell (version 0.1.2)

neo4j_query: Execute a query string in Neo4J using cypher-shell and capture output

Description

Execute a query string in Neo4J using cypher-shell and capture output

Usage

neo4j_query(
  con = list(address = NULL, uid = NULL, pwd = NULL),
  qry = NULL,
  shell_path = "cypher-shell",
  database = NULL,
  encryption = c("default", "true", "false")
)

Arguments

con

List containing three objects: bolt address, uid, pwd as character strings providing connection to the Neo4J server

qry

Character string of the query or queries to be sent to Neo4J. Read queries should be single queries.

shell_path

If cypher-shell is not in the PATH system variable, the full local path to cypher-shell executable.

database

The name of the database if other than the default database. (For multi-tenancy installations).

encryption

Passes encryption argument to cypher-shell if necessary. Older versions of cypher-shell may require 'true' or 'false' to be passed.

Value

A dataframe of results if the read query is successful. A text string if an error is encountered. Write queries will return a zero length response if successful. If multiple read queries were submitted, only the results of the final query will be returned.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# if neo4j exists, start the local server, give it a moment to fire up, and run a query
if (nzchar(Sys.which("neo4j"))) {
  neo4j_start()
  Sys.sleep(2)
  graph <- list(address = "bolt://localhost:7687", uid = "neo4j", pwd = "password")
  neo4j_query(con = graph, qry = "MATCH (n) RETURN (n)")
}
# }
