Node-Neo4j v2 alpha 1 + NYC meetup

[Aseem Kishore]

Hi folks,

After a busy few months, I've finally gotten to return to node-neo4j v2 (a complete overhaul and expansion of the driver), and I'm excited to share that it's coming along nicely!

I just published version 2.0.0-alpha1 to npm, so if you're eager to try it out, it's just an `npm install` away.

Either way, the high-level API docs are here:

https://github.com/thingdom/node-neo4j/blob/v2/API_v2.md

And the GitHub pull request shows what's implemented so far and what isn't:

https://github.com/thingdom/node-neo4j/pull/145

In a nutshell, all Cypher-related functionality is implemented, including batching and transactions, automatic parsing of returned objects (incl. w/ labels), and the best error reporting and messaging I've ever written. Not implemented yet are things like streaming and schema management.

I plan on turning my attention to expanding the docs with code examples and updating the node-neo4j-template app soon. Until then, you can peruse the (thorough) tests for real code usage:

If you try this out or take a look, do let me know what you think. Feedback very welcome.

Finally, if you're in NYC, we at FiftyThree will be hosting a Neo4j meetup this Thursday, and I'll both give a talk on lessons learned building Mix with Neo4j and demo this new driver. =)

The RSVP list is full, but email me privately if you're interested, and we'll see what we can do.

Thanks, all. Have a great weekend and week.

Cheers,

Aseem
