Subscriptions

GraphQL subscriptions add real-time capabilities to your API. Subscriptions allow to listen for changes on the database.

The following subscriptions are available when using @neo4j/graphql:

All events will be triggered individually, even in events caused by the same Mutation. Events are fired on the creation or deletion of nodes and relationships, and on the update of nodes.

Only changes made through @neo4j/graphql will trigger events. Changes made directly to the database or using the @cypher directive will not trigger any event.

Subscriptions with Auth

Some auth clauses can be used with subscriptions. How these work is documented here.
