Hi everyone, I have developed and open-sourced a NodeJs package that allows serving Neo4j as domain-specific REST APIs. Using this package, one can define her own REST routes instead of endpoints (REST or Bolt) provided by Neo4j instance.
Comments and feedback very much appreciated! https://www.npmjs.com/package/koa-neo4j koa-neo4j is a framework for creating web servers that embody application's > logic powered by a Neo4j Graph Database <https://neo4j.com/> backend. > > In a Neo4j enabled application, conducting queries directly from client > side might not be the best choice: > > - Database is exposed to the client, unless some explicit security > mechanism is in place; one can *see* the innards of the database by View > page source > - There is no one server to rule them all, queries are strings, > scattered around different clients (web, mobile, etc.) > - Third-party developers might not be familiar with Cypher > > koa-neo4j addresses all of the above issues: > > - Stands as a middle layer between clients and database > - Gives structure to your server's logic in form of a file-based > project; finally a home for Cypher! All of the clients can then talk to an > instance of this server > - Converts Cypher files to REST routes, a cross-platform web standard > that developers are familiar with, it does so on top of the widely-adapted > koa <http://koajs.com/> server, ripe for further customization > > In addition it comes with *goodies*: > > - Lifecycle hooks, enabling one to tweak incoming and outgoing data > based on one's needs, allowing her to utilize the full power of nodejs > and javascript ecosystem in the process > - Non-opinionated user management, you describe (in Cypher) how your > users and roles are stored, the framework provides authentication and > role-based access management > > Cheers, Keyvan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Neo4j" group.
