apoc.node.id

Function

apoc.node.id(node NODE) - returns the id for the given virtual NODE.

Signature

apoc.node.id(node :: NODE) :: INTEGER

Input parameters

Name Type Default

node

NODE

null

Usage Examples

The examples in this section are based on the following graph:

CREATE (s:Student {name: 'Alice', score: 71});
CREATE (s:Student {name: 'Mark', score: 95});
CREATE (s:Student {name: 'Andrea', score: 86});
CREATE (s:Student {name: 'Rajesh', score: 89});
CREATE (s:Student {name: 'Jennifer', score: 96});
CREATE (s:Student {name: 'Katarina', score: 80});

If we create virtual nodes containing students scores, we can use apoc.node.id to return the node id of those virtual nodes:

apoc.create.vNode Procedure
MATCH (s:Student)
CALL apoc.create.vNode(['Score'],{value: s.score})
YIELD node
RETURN node, apoc.node.id(node) AS nodeId;
Table 1. Results
