neo4j node.js

[Alex Frieden]

Hi everyone,

I have a working neo4j express node.js application.  However I want to add in authentication, does anyone have any working passport or such node-neo4j examples?  I wasn't able to get it to work on my own.

Hi Alex,

I'm new to node.js and have been looking for documentation for a simple CRUD app. Not much out there for a neo4j / node platform.
Would you be willing to share the code to your app (assuming it's a CRUD app)? Or would you be able to point me to a git repo?

Many Thanks,

Keith

Hi Keith,

I've written an introduction to using the official drivers with nodejs.  Essentially, you'll create a single instance of the driver in your application and use it to create a session each time you run a cypher query.

Your CRUD operations should be performed in Cypher queries.  I've written a library called neode which takes care of CRUD boilerplate.

The other active project that I know about for Neo4j is OGMNeo:

I also recently created a gist for a colleague which used the driver as middleware in an express application.

This only has a read query but if you'd like more guidance, just shout.  The Neo4j Slack channel is also a great resource if you need help.

Cheers,

Adam
