Create a node for the actor Tom Hanks:
CREATE (n:Actor { name:"Tom Hanks" });
Let’s find the node we created:
MATCH (actor:Actor) WHERE actor.name = 'Tom Hanks' RETURN actor;
Now let’s create a movie and connect it to the Tom Hanks node with an ACTED_IN
relationship:
MATCH (actor:Actor) WHERE actor.name = 'Tom Hanks' CREATE (movie:Movie { title:'Sleepless IN Seattle' }) CREATE (actor)-[:ACTED_IN]->(movie);
This is how our graph looks now:
We can do more of the work in a single clause.
CREATE UNIQUE
will make sure we don’t create duplicate patterns.
Using this: [r:ACTED_IN]
lets us return the relationship.
MATCH (actor:Actor) WHERE actor.name = 'Tom Hanks' CREATE UNIQUE (actor)-[r:ACTED_IN]->(movie:Movie { title:"Forrest Gump" }) RETURN r;
Set a property on a node:
MATCH (actor:Actor) WHERE actor.name = 'Tom Hanks' SET actor.DoB = 1944 RETURN actor.name, actor.DoB;
The labels Actor and Movie help us organize the graph. Let’s list all Movie nodes:
MATCH (movie:Movie) RETURN movie AS `All Movies`;
All Movies |
