Graph

Label

Object representation of a Node Label.

use GraphAware\Common\Graph\Node;

$node = new Node(1, array("User", "Person"));
$node->getId(); // Returns (int) 1
$node->getLabels(); // Returns an array of \GraphAware\Common\Graph\Label objects

Relationship

Object Representation of a Relationship. The relationship object extends PropertyBag.

use GraphAware\Common\Graph\Relationship;

$rel = new Relationship(1, RelationshipType::withName("RELATES"), $node, $node2);
echo $rel->getType(); // Returns (string) "RELATES"
var_dump($rel->isType(RelationshipType::withName("RELATES"))); // Returns (bool) true

Direction (Enum) : representation of a Relationship Direction

use GraphAware\Common\Graph\Direction;

$direction = new Direction(Direction::INCOMING);
echo $direction; // Returns (string) "INCOMING"

// Or static call construction

$direction = Direction::OUTGOING;
echo $direction; // Returns (string) "OUTGOING"

Valid values are INCOMING, OUTGOING and BOTH.

RelationshipType

Object representation of a relationship type.

use GraphAware\Common\Graph\RelationshipType;

$relType = RelationshipType::withName("FOLLOWS");
echo $relType->getName(); // Returns (string) "FOLLOWS"
echo (string) $relType; // implements __toString method : Returns (string) "FOLLOWS"

Cypher

Statement and StatementCollection

Utility classes representing Cypher's statements. Both Statement and StatementCollection classes are taggable.

Contains also StatementInterface and StatementCollectionInterface used in most GraphAware's PHP libraries.

Statement

Represents a Cypher statement with a query and an array of parameters. Also the Statement accepts a tag argument default to null;

use GraphAware\Common\Cypher\Statement;

$statement = Statement::create("MATCH (n) WHERE id(n) = {id} RETURN n", array("id" => 324));

echo $statement->getQuery(); // Returns (string) "MATCH (n) WHERE id(n) = {id} RETURN n"
echo count($statement->getParameters()); // Returns (int) 1

StatementCollection

Represents a collection of Statement objects. Is also Taggable.

use GraphAware\Common\Cypher\Statement
    GraphAware\Common\Cypher\StatementCollection;

$collection = new StatementCollection();
$collection->add(Statement::create("MATCH (n) RETURN count(n)"));

print_r($collection->getStatements());
echo $collection->isEmpty();
