How to set a statement Label info in Cypher?

[Stephen]

According to Neo4j documentation. I was running a statement cypher successfully. 
But when I tried to set a custom label to cypher, it ran into a syntax error.

public void addPerson( String name )
{
    try ( Session session = driver.session() )
    {
        session.run( "CREATE (a:$label {})", parameters( "label", name ) );
    }
}

How to solve it ?

Thanks.

You cannot parameterize labels, rel-types and property-keys right now.

You'll have to use string substitution, make sure to surround it with `%s` backticks  and sanitize your input.

Oh and also you got it wrong, name is not a label but a property.

session.run( "CREATE (:Person {name:$name})", parameters( "name", name ) );
