apoc.refactor.collapseNode
Procedure
apoc.refactor.collapseNode(nodes Any, relType String)
- collapses the given node and replaces it with a relationship of the given type.
Signature
apoc.refactor.collapseNode(nodes :: ANY?, type :: STRING?) :: (input :: INTEGER?, output :: RELATIONSHIP?, error :: STRING?)
Usage Examples
The examples in this section are based on the following sample graph:
CREATE (flight:Flight {number: "BA001"})
CREATE (origin:Airport {code: "LHR"})
CREATE (destination:Airport {code: "AMS"})
CREATE (flight)<-[:OUT]-(origin)
CREATE (flight)-[:IN]->(destination);
The following query collapses the Flight
node, replacing it with a CONNECTED
to relationship:
MATCH (flight:Flight {number: "BA001"})
CALL apoc.refactor.collapseNode([flight],'CONNECTED_TO')
YIELD input, output
RETURN input, output;
input | output |
---|---|
10 |
[:CONNECTED_TO {number: "BA001"}] |
If we execute this query, it will result in the following graph:
