**Node.js bindings for RuVector Graph Database via NAPI-RS.**
`ruvector-graph-node` provides native Node.js bindings for the Ruvector graph database, enabling high-performance graph operations with Cypher queries directly from JavaScript/TypeScript. Part of the [Ruvector](https://github.com/ruvnet/ruvector) ecosystem.
## Why Ruvector Graph Node?
- **Native Performance**: Rust speed in Node.js
- **Zero-Copy**: Efficient data transfer via NAPI-RS
- **Async/Await**: Full async support for non-blocking I/O
- **TypeScript**: Complete type definitions included
- **Neo4j Compatible**: Cypher query language support
## Features
### Core Capabilities
- **Graph CRUD**: Create nodes, edges, and hyperedges
- **Cypher Queries**: Execute Neo4j-compatible queries
- **Vector Search**: Semantic search on graph elements
- **Traversal**: BFS, DFS, shortest path algorithms
- **Batch Operations**: Bulk insert and query
### Advanced Features
- **Streaming Results**: Handle large result sets
- **Transaction Support**: ACID transactions (planned)
- **Connection Pooling**: Efficient resource management
- **Worker Threads**: Multi-threaded operations
## Installation
```bash
npm install @ruvector/graph
# or
yarn add @ruvector/graph
# or
pnpm add @ruvector/graph
```
## Quick Start
### Create a Graph
```typescript
import { Graph, Node, Edge } from '@ruvector/graph';
// Create a new graph
const graph = new Graph({
dimensions: 384, // For vector embeddings
distanceMetric: 'cosine',
});
// Create nodes
const alice = await graph.createNode({
labels: ['Person'],
properties: { name: 'Alice', age: 30 },
});
const bob = await graph.createNode({
labels: ['Person'],
properties: { name: 'Bob', age: 25 },
});
// Create relationship
await graph.createEdge({
label: 'KNOWS',
source: alice.id,
target: bob.id,
properties: { since: 2020 },
});
```
### Cypher Queries
```typescript
import { Graph } from '@ruvector/graph';
const graph = new Graph();
// Execute Cypher query
const results = await graph.query(`
MATCH (p:Person)-[:KNOWS]->(friend:Person)
WHERE p.name = 'Alice'
RETURN friend.name AS name, friend.age AS age
`);
for (const row of results) {
console.log(`Friend: ${row.name} (age ${row.age})`);
}
```
### Vector Search
```typescript
import { Graph } from '@ruvector/graph';
const graph = new Graph({ dimensions: 384 });
// Create node with embedding
await graph.createNode({
labels: ['Document'],
properties: { title: 'Introduction to Graphs' },
embedding: new Float32Array([0.1, 0.2, 0.3, /* ... */]),
});
// Semantic search
const similar = await graph.searchSimilar({
vector: new Float32Array([0.1, 0.2, 0.3, /* ... */]),
k: 10,
labels: ['Document'],
});
for (const node of similar) {
console.log(`${node.properties.title}: ${node.score}`);
}
```
## API Reference
### Graph Class
```typescript
class Graph {
constructor(config?: GraphConfig);
// Node operations
createNode(node: NodeInput): Promise<Node>;
deleteNode(id: string): Promise<boolean>;
// Edge operations
createEdge(edge: EdgeInput): Promise<Edge>;
// Query
query(cypher: string, params?: Record<string, any>): Promise<Row[]>;
// Search
searchSimilar(options: SearchOptions): Promise<ScoredNode[]>;
// Traversal
}
```
### Types
```typescript
interface GraphConfig {
dimensions?: number;
interface NodeInput {
labels: string[];
properties: Record<string, any>;
embedding?: Float32Array;
}
interface Node {
id: string;
labels: string[];
properties: Record<string, any>;
embedding?: Float32Array;
}
interface EdgeInput {
label: string;
source: string;
target: string;
properties?: Record<string, any>;
}
interface SearchOptions {
vector: Float32Array;
k: number;
labels?: string[];
filter?: Record<string, any>;
}
```
