If you use node-neo4j, two FYIs:

There are full API docs now!
I've started a Roadmap wiki for planning vNext -- with API rethinking.

That is all. Feedback and input always appreciated and welcome. =)

Nice job, Aseem. I've been "watching" your github repo for a while. Sounds like some cool stuff in the Roadmap.

I vote against a Cypher DSL, personally. Aside from being a bear to maintain and keep up with real Cypher, I think it adds some unnecessary complexity. Just my opinion!

Thanks Wes!

And I think I agree with your point on the maintainability and complexity of having a DSL. Mostly though, I just wonder if people would prefer to write straight-up Cypher anyway, with full flexibility.

Maybe some simple things could be helper functions that have Cypher behind them (without the goal of attempting to make it a full DSL)--for example, I send CREATE UNIQUE stuff through Cypher via some helper functions that convert the parameters to Cypher parameters. I have one for nodes and one for relationships.
