||
= Spring Data Neo4j
|
||
|
||
The primary goal of the https://projects.spring.io/spring-data[Spring Data] project is to make it easier to build Spring-powered applications that use new data access technologies such as non-relational databases, map-reduce frameworks, and cloud based data services.
|
||
|
||
The Spring Data Neo4j project aims to provide a familiar and consistent Spring-based programming model for integrating with the https://neo4j.com/[Neo4j] Graph Database.
|
||
|
||
== Code of Conduct
|
||
|
||
This project is governed by the link:CODE_OF_CONDUCT.adoc[Spring Code of Conduct]. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code of conduct. Please report unacceptable behavior to spring-code-of-conduct@pivotal.io.

|
||
== Getting Started
|
||
|
||
Here is a quick teaser of an application using Spring Data Repositories in Java:
|
||
|
||
[source,java]
|
||
----
|
||
@NodeEntity
|
||
public class Person {
|
||
private Long id;
|
||
private String name;
|
||
|
||
@Relationship(type = "FRIEND", direction = "OUTGOING")
|
||
private Set<Person> friends;
|
||
|
||
public Person() {}
|
||
public Person(String name) { this.name = name; }
|
||
|
||
private void knows(Person friend) { friends.add(friend); }
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
@Repository
|
||
public interface PersonRepository extends Neo4jRepository<Person, Long> {
|
||
|
||
List<Person> findByName(String name);
|
||
|
||
List<Person> findByNameLike(String name);
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
@Service
|
||
public class MyService {
|
||
|
||
@Autowired
|
||
private final PersonRepository repository;
|
||
|
||
@Transactional
|
||
public void doWork() {
|
||
|
||
Person jon = new Person("Jon");
|
||
Person emil = new Person("Emil");
|
||
Person rod = new Person("Rod");
|
||
|
||
emil.knows(jon);
|
||
emil.knows(rod);
|
||
|
||
// Persist entities and relationships to graph database
|
||
personRepository.save(emil);
|
||
|
||
for (Person friend : emil.getFriends()) {
|
||
System.out.println("Friend: " + friend);
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
// Control loading depth
|
||
Person thatSamejon = personRepository.findOne(id, 2);
|
||
for (Person friend : jon.getFriends()) {
|
||
System.out.println("Jon's friends to depth 2: " + friend);
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
@Configuration

Please find the setup for Gradle based projects in the the https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/data-neo4j/docs/current/reference/html/[Reference Manual].
|
||
|
||
Spring Data Neo4j provides support for connecting to all of Neo4j's java drivers:
|
||
|
||
* Bolt
|
||
* HTTP
|
||
* Embedded
|
||
|
||
Depending on your need, you'll have to add one additional Neo4j-OGM module.
|
||
Please refer to the reference linked above.

== Getting Help
|
||
|
||
Having trouble with Spring Data? We’d love to help!
|
||
|
||
* Check the
|
||
https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/neo4j/docs/current/reference/html/[reference documentation], and https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/neo4j/docs/current/api/[Javadocs].
|
||
* Learn the Spring basics – Spring Data builds on Spring Framework, check the https://spring.io[spring.io] web-site for a wealth of reference documentation.
|
||
If you are just starting out with Spring, try one of the https://spring.io/guides[guides].
|
||
* If you are upgrading, check out the https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/neo4j/docs/current/changelog.txt[changelog] for "`new and noteworthy`" features.
|
||
* Ask a question - we monitor https://stackoverflow.com[stackoverflow.com] for questions tagged with https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/spring-data-neo4j-5[spring-data-neo4j-5].
|
||
* Report bugs with Spring Data Neo4j at https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-neo4j/issues[github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-neo4j/issues].
|
||
|
||
== Reporting Issues
|
||
|
||
Spring Data uses GitHub as issue tracking system to record bugs and feature requests. If you want to raise an issue, please follow the recommendations below:
|
||
|
||
* Before you log a bug, please search the
|
||
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-neo4j/issues[issue tracker] to see if someone has already reported the problem.
|
||
* If the issue doesn’t already exist, https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-neo4j/issues/new[create a new issue].
|
||
* Please provide as much information as possible with the issue report, we like to know the version of Spring Data Neo4j, the database version and the JVM version that you are using.
|
||
* If you need to paste code, or include a stack trace use Markdown +++```+++ escapes before and after your text.
|
||
* If possible try to create a test-case or project that replicates the issue. Attach a link to your code or a compressed file containing your code.
|
||
|
||
== Building from Source
|
||
|
||
You don’t need to build from source to use Spring Data (binaries in https://repo.spring.io[repo.spring.io]), but if you want to try out the latest and greatest, Spring Data can be easily built with the https://github.com/takari/maven-wrapper[maven wrapper].
|
||
You also need JDK 1.8.
|
||
|
||
[source,bash]
|
||
----
|
||
$ ./mvnw clean install
|
||
----
|
||
|
||
If you want to build with the regular `mvn` command, you will need https://maven.apache.org/run-maven/index.html[Maven v3.5.0 or above].
|
||
|
||
_Also see link:CONTRIBUTING.adoc[CONTRIBUTING.adoc] if you wish to submit pull requests, and in particular please sign the https://cla.pivotal.io/sign/spring[Contributor's Agreement] before your first non-trivial change._
|
||
|
||
=== Building reference documentation
|
||
|
||
Building the documentation builds also the project without running tests.
|
||
|
||
[source,bash]
|
||
----
|
||
$ ./mvnw clean install -Pdistribute
|
||
----
|
||
|
||
The generated documentation is available from `target/site/reference/html/index.html`.
|
||
|
||
== Guides
|
||
|
||
The https://spring.io/[spring.io] site contains several guides that show how to use Spring Data step-by-step:
|
||
|
||
* https://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-data-neo4j/[Accessing Data with Neo4j] is a very basic guide that shows you how to create a simple application and how to access data using repositories.
|
||
* https://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-neo4j-data-rest/[Accessing Neo4j Data with REST] is a guide to creating a REST web service exposing data stored in Neo4j through repositories.
|
||
|
||
== Examples
|
||
|
||
* https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-examples/[Spring Data Examples] contains example projects that explain specific features in more detail.
