Documentation

Neo4j driver compatible with neo4j 4.x versions

  • An implementation of the bolt protocol to interact with Neo4j server
  • async/await apis using tokio
  • Supports bolt 4.2 specification
  • tested with Neo4j versions: 4.0, 4.1, 4.2

Examples

use neo4rs::*;
use std::sync::Arc;
use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicU32, Ordering};
use futures::stream::*;
use uuid::Uuid;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let uri = "127.0.0.1:7687";
let user = "neo4j";
let pass = "neo";
let id = Uuid::new_v4().to_string();

let graph = Arc::new(Graph::new(&uri, user, pass).await.unwrap());
let mut result = graph.run(
query("CREATE (p:Person {id: $id})").param("id", id.clone())
).await.unwrap();

let mut handles = Vec::new();
let mut count = Arc::new(AtomicU32::new(0));
for _ in 1..=42 {
let graph = graph.clone();
let id = id.clone();
let count = count.clone();
let handle = tokio::spawn(async move {
let mut result = graph.execute(
query("MATCH (p:Person {id: $id}) RETURN p").param("id", id)
).await.unwrap();
while let Ok(Some(row)) = result.next().await {
count.fetch_add(1, Ordering::Relaxed);
}
});
handles.push(handle);
}

futures::future::join_all(handles).await;
assert_eq!(count.load(Ordering::Relaxed), 42);
}

Nodes

A simple example to create a node and consume the created node from the row stream.

  • [Graph::run] just returns [errors::Result]<()>, usually used for write only queries.
  • [Graph::execute] returns [errors::Result]<[RowStream]>
use neo4rs::*;
use futures::stream::*;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let uri = "127.0.0.1:7687";
let user = "neo4j";
let pass = "neo";
let graph = Graph::new(uri, user, pass).await.unwrap();

assert!(graph.run(query("RETURN 1")).await.is_ok());

let mut result = graph.execute(
query( "CREATE (friend:Person {name: $name}) RETURN friend")
.param("name", "Mr Mark")
).await.unwrap();

while let Ok(Some(row)) = result.next().await {
let node: Node = row.get("friend").unwrap();
let id = node.id();
let labels = node.labels();
let name: String = node.get("name").unwrap();
assert_eq!(name, "Mr Mark");
assert_eq!(labels, vec!["Person"]);
assert!(id > 0);
}
}

Configurations

Use the config builder to override the default configurations like

  • fetch_size - number of rows to fetch in batches (default is 200)
  • max_connections - maximum size of the connection pool (default is 16)
  • db - the database to connect to (default is neo4j)
use neo4rs::*;
use futures::stream::*;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let config = config()
.uri("127.0.0.1:7687")
.user("neo4j")
.password("neo")
.db("neo4j")
.fetch_size(500)
.max_connections(10)
.build()
.unwrap();
let graph = Graph::connect(config).await.unwrap();
let mut result = graph.execute(query("RETURN 1")).await.unwrap();
let row = result.next().await.unwrap().unwrap();
let value: i64 = row.get("1").unwrap();
assert_eq!(1, value);
assert!(result.next().await.unwrap().is_none());
}

Transactions

Start a new transaction using [Graph::start_txn], which will return a handle [Txn] that can be used to [Txn::commit] or [Txn::rollback] the transaction.

Note that the handle takes a connection from the connection pool, which will be released once the Txn is dropped

use neo4rs::*;
use futures::stream::*;
use uuid::Uuid;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let uri = "127.0.0.1:7687";
let user = "neo4j";
let pass = "neo";
let graph = Graph::new(uri, user, pass).await.unwrap();
let txn = graph.start_txn().await.unwrap();
let id = Uuid::new_v4().to_string();
let result = txn.run_queries(vec![
query("CREATE (p:Person {id: $id})").param("id", id.clone()),
query("CREATE (p:Person {id: $id})").param("id", id.clone())
]).await;

assert!(result.is_ok());
txn.commit().await.unwrap();
let mut result = graph
.execute(query("MATCH (p:Person) WHERE p.id = $id RETURN p.id").param("id", id.clone()))
.await
.unwrap();
# assert!(result.next().await.unwrap().is_some());
# assert!(result.next().await.unwrap().is_some());
# assert!(result.next().await.unwrap().is_none());
}

Streams within a transaction

Each [RowStream] returned by various execute within the same transaction are well isolated, so you can consume the stream anytime within the transaction using [RowStream::next]

use neo4rs::*;
use futures::stream::*;
use uuid::Uuid;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let config = config()
.uri("127.0.0.1:7687")
.user("neo4j")
.password("neo")
.fetch_size(1)
.build()
.unwrap();
let graph = Graph::connect(config).await.unwrap();
let name = Uuid::new_v4().to_string();
let txn = graph.start_txn().await.unwrap();

txn.run_queries(vec![
query("CREATE (p { name: $name })").param("name", name.clone()),
query("CREATE (p { name: $name })").param("name", name.clone()),
])
.await
.unwrap();


//start stream_one
let mut stream_one = txn
.execute(query("MATCH (p {name: $name}) RETURN p").param("name", name.clone()))
.await
.unwrap();
let row = stream_one.next().await.unwrap().unwrap();
assert_eq!(row.get::<Node>("p").unwrap().get::<String>("name").unwrap(), name.clone());

//start stream_two
let mut stream_two = txn.execute(query("RETURN 1")).await.unwrap();
let row = stream_two.next().await.unwrap().unwrap();
assert_eq!(row.get::<i64>("1").unwrap(), 1);

//stream_one is still active here
let row = stream_one.next().await.unwrap().unwrap();
assert_eq!(row.get::<Node>("p").unwrap().get::<String>("name").unwrap(), name.clone());

//stream_one completes
assert!(stream_one.next().await.unwrap().is_none());
//stream_two completes
assert!(stream_two.next().await.unwrap().is_none());
txn.commit().await.unwrap();
}

Rollback a transaction

use neo4rs::*;
use futures::stream::*;
use uuid::Uuid;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let uri = "127.0.0.1:7687";
let user = "neo4j";
let pass = "neo";
let graph = Graph::new(uri, user, pass).await.unwrap();

let txn = graph.start_txn().await.unwrap();
let id = Uuid::new_v4().to_string();
// create a node
txn.run(query("CREATE (p:Person {id: $id})").param("id", id.clone()))
.await
.unwrap();
// rollback the changes
txn.rollback().await.unwrap();

// changes not updated in the database
let mut result = graph
.execute(query("MATCH (p:Person) WHERE p.id = $id RETURN p.id").param("id", id.clone()))
.await
.unwrap();
assert!(result.next().await.unwrap().is_none());
}

Txn vs Graph

Everytime you execute a query using [Graph::run] or [Graph::execute], a new connection is taken from the pool and released immediately.

However, when you execute a query on a transaction using [Txn::run] or [Txn::execute] the same connection will be reused, the underlying connection will be released to the pool in a clean state only after you commit/rollback the transaction and the [Txn] handle is dropped.

use neo4rs::*;
use futures::stream::*;
use uuid::Uuid;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let uri = "127.0.0.1:7687";
let user = "neo4j";
let pass = "neo";
let graph = Graph::new(uri, user, pass).await.unwrap();
let txn = graph.start_txn().await.unwrap();
let id = Uuid::new_v4().to_string();
txn.run(query("CREATE (p:Person {id: $id})").param("id", id.clone()))
.await
.unwrap();
txn.run(query("CREATE (p:Person {id: $id})").param("id", id.clone()))
.await
.unwrap();
// graph.execute(..) will not see the changes done above as the txn is not committed yet
let mut result = graph
.execute(query("MATCH (p:Person) WHERE p.id = $id RETURN p.id").param("id", id.clone()))
.await
.unwrap();
assert!(result.next().await.unwrap().is_none());
txn.commit().await.unwrap();

//changes are now seen as the transaction is committed.
let mut result = graph
.execute(query("MATCH (p:Person) WHERE p.id = $id RETURN p.id").param("id", id.clone()))
.await
.unwrap();
assert!(result.next().await.unwrap().is_some());
assert!(result.next().await.unwrap().is_some());
assert!(result.next().await.unwrap().is_none());
}

Relationships

Bounded Relationship between nodes are created using cypher queries and the same can be parsed from the [RowStream]

use neo4rs::*;
use futures::stream::*;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let uri = "127.0.0.1:7687";
let user = "neo4j";
let pass = "neo";
let graph = Graph::new(uri, user, pass).await.unwrap();
let mut result = graph.execute(
query("CREATE (p:Person { name: 'Oliver Stone' })-[r:WORKS_AT {as: 'Engineer'}]->(neo) RETURN r")
).await.unwrap();

let row = result.next().await.unwrap().unwrap();
let relation: Relation = row.get("r").unwrap();
assert!(relation.id() > -1);
assert!(relation.start_node_id() > -1);
assert!(relation.end_node_id() > -1);
assert_eq!(relation.typ(), "WORKS_AT");
assert_eq!(relation.get::<String>("as").unwrap(), "Engineer");
}

Similar to bounded relation, an unbounded relation can also be created/parsed.

use neo4rs::*;
use futures::stream::*;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let uri = "127.0.0.1:7687";
let user = "neo4j";
let pass = "neo";
let graph = Graph::new(uri, user, pass).await.unwrap();
let mut result = graph.execute(
query("MERGE (p1:Person { name: 'Oliver Stone' })-[r:RELATED {as: 'friend'}]-(p2: Person {name: 'Mark'}) RETURN r")
).await.unwrap();
let row = result.next().await.unwrap().unwrap();
let relation: Relation = row.get("r").unwrap();
assert!(relation.id() > -1);
assert!(relation.start_node_id() > -1);
assert!(relation.end_node_id() > -1);
assert_eq!(relation.typ(), "RELATED");
assert_eq!(relation.get::<String>("as").unwrap(), "friend");
}

Points

A 2d or 3d point can be represented with the types [Point2D] and [Point3D]

use neo4rs::*;
use futures::stream::*;
use uuid::Uuid;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let uri = "127.0.0.1:7687";
let user = "neo4j";
let pass = "neo";
let graph = Graph::new(uri, user, pass).await.unwrap();

let mut result = graph
.execute(query(
"WITH point({ x: 2.3, y: 4.5, crs: 'cartesian' }) AS p1,
point({ x: 1.1, y: 5.4, crs: 'cartesian' }) AS p2 RETURN distance(p1,p2) AS dist, p1, p2",
))
.await
.unwrap();
let row = result.next().await.unwrap().unwrap();
let dist: f64 = row.get("dist").unwrap();
let p1: Point2D = row.get("p1").unwrap();
let p2: Point2D = row.get("p2").unwrap();
assert_eq!(1.5, dist);
assert_eq!(p1.sr_id(), 7203);
assert_eq!(p1.x(), 2.3);
assert_eq!(p1.y(), 4.5);
assert_eq!(p2.sr_id(), 7203);
assert_eq!(p2.x(), 1.1);
assert_eq!(p2.y(), 5.4);
assert!(result.next().await.unwrap().is_none());

let mut result = graph
.execute(query(
"RETURN point({ longitude: 56.7, latitude: 12.78, height: 8 }) AS point",
))
.await
.unwrap();
let row = result.next().await.unwrap().unwrap();
let point: Point3D = row.get("point").unwrap();
assert_eq!(point.sr_id(), 4979);
assert_eq!(point.x(), 56.7);
assert_eq!(point.y(), 12.78);
assert_eq!(point.z(), 8.0);
assert!(result.next().await.unwrap().is_none());

}

DateTime

  • DateTime captures the date and time with offset
  • NaiveDateTime captures the date time without offset
  • tuple(NaiveDateTime, String) captures the date/time and the time zone id
