Node Querying

Table 1. Functions

apoc.nodes.isDense(node)

returns true if it is a dense node

apoc.nodes.connected(start, end, rel-direction-pattern)

returns true when the node is connected to the other node, optimized for dense nodes

apoc.node.relationship.exists(node, rel-direction-pattern)

returns true when the node has the relationships of the pattern

apoc.node.relationships.exist(node, rel-direction-pattern)

returns a map with rel-pattern, boolean for the given relationship patterns

apoc.nodes.relationships.exist(node|nodes|id|[ids], rel-direction-pattern)

returns a list of maps where each one has two fields: node which is the node subject of the analysis and exists which is a map with <rel-pattern, boolean> for the given relationship patterns

apoc.node.relationship.types(node, rel-direction-pattern)

returns a list of distinct relationship types

apoc.nodes.relationship.types(node|nodes|id|[ids], rel-direction-pattern)

returns a list of maps where each one has two fields: node which is the node subject of the analysis and types which is a list of distinct relationship types

apoc.node.degree(node, rel-direction-pattern)

returns total degrees of the given relationships in the pattern, can use '>' or '<' for all outgoing or incoming relationships

apoc.node.id(node)

returns id for (virtual) nodes

apoc.node.degree.in(node, relationshipName)

returns total number of incoming relationship

apoc.node.degree.out(node, relationshipName)

returns total number of outgoing relationship

apoc.node.labels(node)

returns labels for (virtual) nodes

apoc.any.properties(node/map, )

returns properties for virtual and real nodes, and maps. Optionally restrict via keys.

apoc.any.property(node/map)

returns property for virtual and real nodes, and maps

apoc.label.exists(element, label)

returns true or false related to label existance

rel-direction-pattern syntax:

[<]RELATIONSHIP_TYPE1[>]|[<]RELATIONSHIP_TYPE2[>]|…​

Example: 'FRIEND|MENTORS>|<REPORTS_TO' will match to :FRIEND relationships in either direction, outgoing :MENTORS relationships, and incoming :REPORTS_TO relationships.

Table 2. Procedures

CALL apoc.nodes.get(node|nodes|id|[ids])

quickly returns all nodes with these ids
