apoc.create.removeLabels
Procedure APOC Core
apoc.create.removeLabels( [node,id,ids,nodes], ['Label',…]) - removes the given labels from the node or nodes
Usage Examples
Cypher supports deleting of labels as long as the labels are hard coded. If the labels are dynamically specified, we can use this procedure.
The examples in this section are based on the following sample graph:
CREATE (jennifer:Person:US {name: "Jennifer", community: 1, partition: 4})
CREATE (karin:Person:US {name: "Karin", community: 4, partition: 2})
CREATE (mark:Person:UK {name: "Mark", community: 3, partition: 3});The following removes all labels except Person from all nodes:
CALL db.labels()
YIELD label WHERE label <> "Person"
WITH collect(label) AS labels
MATCH (p:Person)
WITH collect(p) AS people, labels
CALL apoc.create.removeLabels(people, labels)
YIELD node
RETURN node, labels(node) AS labels;| node | labels |
|---|---|
(:Person {name: "Jennifer", partition: 4, community: 1}) |
["Person"] |
(:Person {name: "Karin", partition: 2, community: 4}) |
["Person"] |
(:Person {name: "Mark", partition: 3, community: 3}) |
["Person"] |
