README

Interact programmatically with Top Graph Technology

• Easy to start with, just build your client in one line and start running queries
• Use an intuitive API for smooth query execution
• Built and tested under close collaboration with the official Neo4j driver team
• Fully typed with Psalm and CS fixed for code quality
• Uses HTTP under the hood instead of bolt
• Small, lightweight, well maintained and fully tested codebase

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require neo4j-php/query-api

Client Installation

This client uses the HTTP protocol, make sure you have psr-7, psr-17, and psr-18 implementations included in your project. If you don't have any, you can install one of the many options via Composer:

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle

NOTE: PSR-17 and PSR-18 are essential for HTTP client communication. Other compatible clients like Guzzle can also be used. * PSR auto-discovery will detect the installed HTTP client automatically.

Usage

Connecting to Neo4j

use Neo4j\QueryAPI\Neo4jQueryAPI;
use Neo4j\QueryAPI\Objects\Authentication;

$client = Neo4jQueryAPI::login('http://localhost:7474', Authentication::basic('username', 'password'));

Running a Query

$query = 'MATCH (n) RETURN n';
$result = $client->run($query);

foreach ($result as $record) {
    print_r($record);
}

Transactions

Begin a Transaction

$transaction = $client->beginTransaction();

Run a Query in a Transaction

$query = 'CREATE (n:Person {name: $name}) RETURN n';
$parameters = ['name' => 'John Doe'];
$result = $transaction->run($query, $parameters);

Commit a Transaction

$transaction->commit();

Rollback a Transaction

$transaction->rollback();

Testing

To run the tests, execute the following command:

vendor/bin/phpunit

Cypher values and types map to these php types and classes:

Diving deeper:

* Client side routing is only supported in the Neo4j driver

NOTE: It supports neo4j databases versions > 5.25 or Neo4j Aura (which has QueryAPI enabled.)
