I'm not sure if they're issues, I was trying to treat maps/collections and loops from what I'm used to in a programming language. Since Cypher is a query language and focused on the graph, manipulating data with nested collections and maps rather than graph data is probably not a design goal? I'll add the issues to github with examples if you think it'd be appropriate. My use for them was only to reduce time writing in Cypher to populate the database due to my lack of native support in my language(AS3/Haxe).
The dataset will only be a few people though they are tied to events and time intervals throughout a day with quite a few relationships between the nodes. I think I can reduce it further for the question, the dump command is great, cheers :) On Friday, 31 January 2014 23:12:35 UTC+13, Michael Hunger wrote: > > Hi Brennan, > > you don't have to provide a huge dataset, everything from 5 to 75 nodes is > sufficient. > > The GraphGist is not a full fledged app it is to discuss and document a > graph model with _some_ sample data and more importantly sensible query > use-cases. > > So it should be good if you type them out. > > Or you can use the neo4j shell and the "dump" command (available from > here: http://localhost:7474/webadmin/#/console/ or via bin/neo4j-shell) > to dump the content of your database into a single cypher create statement, > that you can use for the setup. > > Can you raise the non-working things with map / collection / foreach in > cypher as neo4j github issues (github.com/neo4j/neo4j/issues) with a > quick example (probably after your submission). > > HTH > > Cheers > > Michael > > Am 31.01.2014 um 11:07 schrieb Brennan Kinney > <[email protected]<javascript:> > >: > > My choice in programming language doesn't have a driver for Neo4j and the > REST api support is only GET and POST.
