Next - Cypher Builder

This page describes how to create a NEXT clause using the Cypher®.Next class.

NEXT is used to compose sequential queries, where each part is executed independently one after the other.

To chain clauses with NEXT, use the .next() method followed by the next query:

const customer = new Cypher.Variable();
const customerNode = new Cypher.Node();
const productNode = new Cypher.Node();

const query = new Cypher.Match(new Cypher.Pattern(customerNode, { labels: ["Customer"] }))
    .return([customerNode, customer])
    .next()
    .match(new Cypher.Pattern(productNode, { labels: ["Product"] }))
    .return(productNode);

MATCH (this0:Customer)
RETURN this0 AS var1
NEXT
MATCH (this2:Product)
RETURN this2

Passing an existing clause

An existing clause instance can be passed directly to .next() to append it as the next sequential query:

const secondMatch = new Cypher.Match(new Cypher.Pattern(productNode, { labels: ["Product"] }));

new Cypher.Match(new Cypher.Pattern(customerNode, { labels: ["Customer"] }))
    .return([customerNode, customer])
    .next(secondMatch);
