AsyncSemiStructuredNode

class neomodel.contrib.AsyncSemiStructuredNode(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any)

A base class allowing properties to be stored on a node that aren’t specified in its definition. Conflicting properties are signaled with the DeflateConflict exception:

class Person(AsyncSemiStructuredNode):
    name = StringProperty()
    age = IntegerProperty()

    def hello(self):
        print("Hi my names " + self.name)

tim = await Person(name='Tim', age=8, weight=11).save()
tim.hello = "Hi"
await tim.save() # DeflateConflict

Property Manager

class neomodel.async_.property_manager.AsyncPropertyManager(**kwargs: dict[str, Any])

Bases: object

Common methods for handling properties on node and relationship objects.

classmethod deflate(properties: Any, obj: Any = None, skip_empty: bool = False) dict[str, Any]

Deflate the properties of a PropertyManager subclass (a user-defined StructuredNode or StructuredRel) so that it can be put into a neo4j.graph.Entity (a neo4j.graph.Node or neo4j.graph.Relationship) for storage. properties can be constructed manually, or fetched from a PropertyManager subclass using __properties__.

Includes mapping from python class attribute name -> database property name (see Property.db_property).

Ignores any properties that are not defined as python attributes in the class definition.

classmethod inflate(graph_entity: Node | Relationship) Any

Inflate the properties of a graph entity (a neo4j.graph.Node or neo4j.graph.Relationship) into an instance of cls. Includes mapping from database property name (see Property.db_property) -> python class attribute name. Ignores any properties that are not defined as python attributes in the class definition.

Paths

class neomodel.async_.path.AsyncNeomodelPath(a_neopath: Path)

Bases: object

Represents paths within neomodel.

This object is instantiated when you include whole paths in your cypher_query() result sets and turn resolve_objects to True.

That is, any query of the form:

MATCH p=(:SOME_NODE_LABELS)-[:SOME_REL_LABELS]-(:SOME_OTHER_NODE_LABELS) return p

NeomodelPath are simple objects that reference their nodes and relationships, each of which is already resolved to their neomodel objects if such mapping is possible.

Parameters:
  • nodes (list[StructuredNode]) – Neomodel nodes appearing in the path in order of appearance.

  • relationships (list[StructuredRel]) – Neomodel relationships appearing in the path in order of appearance.

property end_node: AsyncStructuredNode

The last StructuredNode in this path.

property start_node: AsyncStructuredNode

The first StructuredNode in this path.

Match

class neomodel.async_.match.AsyncBaseSet

Base class for all node sets.

Contains common python magic methods, __len__, __contains__ etc

async all(lazy: bool = False) list

Return all nodes belonging to the set :param lazy: False by default, specify True to get nodes with id only without the parameters. :return: list of nodes :rtype: list

async check_bool() bool

Override for __bool__ dunder method. :return: True if the set contains any nodes, False otherwise :rtype: bool

async check_contains(obj: AsyncStructuredNode | Any) bool
async check_nonzero() bool

Override for __bool__ dunder method. :return: True if the set contains any node, False otherwise :rtype: bool

async get_item(key: int | slice) AsyncBaseSet | None
async get_len() int
query_cls

alias of AsyncQueryBuilder

relations_to_fetch: list[Path]
source_class: type[AsyncStructuredNode]
class neomodel.async_.match.AsyncNodeSet(source: Any)

A class representing as set of nodes matching common query parameters

annotate(*vars: tuple, **aliased_vars: tuple) AsyncNodeSet

Annotate node set results with extra variables.

dont_match: dict
exclude(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) AsyncBaseSet

Exclude nodes from the NodeSet via filters.

Parameters:

kwargs – filter parameters see syntax for the filter method

Returns:

self

filter(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) AsyncBaseSet

Apply filters to the existing nodes in the set.

Parameters:
  • args

    a Q object

    e.g .filter(Q(salary__lt=10000) | Q(salary__gt=20000)).

  • kwargs

    filter parameters

    Filters mimic Django’s syntax with the double ‘__’ to separate field and operators.

    e.g .filter(salary__gt=20000) results in salary > 20000.

    The following operators are available:

    • ’lt’: less than

    • ’gt’: greater than

    • ’lte’: less than or equal to

    • ’gte’: greater than or equal to

    • ’ne’: not equal to

    • ’in’: matches one of list (or tuple)

    • ’isnull’: is null

    • ’regex’: matches supplied regex (neo4j regex format)

    • ’exact’: exactly match string (just ‘=’)

    • ’iexact’: case insensitive match string

    • ’contains’: contains string

    • ’icontains’: case insensitive contains

    • ’startswith’: string starts with

    • ’istartswith’: case insensitive string starts with

    • ’endswith’: string ends with

    • ’iendswith’: case insensitive string ends with

Returns:

self

filters: list
async first(**kwargs: Any) Any

Retrieve the first node from the set matching supplied parameters

Parameters:

kwargs – same syntax as filter()

Returns:

node

async first_or_none(**kwargs: Any) Any

Retrieve the first node from the set matching supplied parameters or return none

Parameters:

kwargs – same syntax as filter()

Returns:

node or none

fulltext_query: FulltextFilter | None
async get(lazy: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) Any

Retrieve one node from the set matching supplied parameters :param lazy: False by default, specify True to get nodes with id only without the parameters. :param kwargs: same syntax as filter() :return: node

async get_or_none(**kwargs: Any) Any

Retrieve a node from the set matching supplied parameters or return none

Parameters:

kwargs – same syntax as filter()

Returns:

node or none

has(**kwargs: Any) AsyncBaseSet
intermediate_transform(vars: dict[str, Transformation], distinct: bool = False, ordering: list | None = None) AsyncNodeSet
must_match: dict
order_by(*props: Any) AsyncBaseSet

Order by properties. Prepend with minus to do descending. Pass None to remove ordering.

order_by_elements: list
relations_to_fetch: list[Path]
async resolve_subgraph() list

Convert every result contained in this node set to a subgraph.

By default, we receive results from neomodel as a list of nodes without the hierarchy. This method tries to rebuild this hierarchy without overriding anything in the node, that’s why we use a dedicated property to store node’s relations.

async subquery(nodeset: AsyncNodeSet, return_set: list[str], initial_context: list[str] | None = None) AsyncNodeSet

Add a subquery to this node set.

A subquery is a regular cypher query but executed within the context of a CALL statement. Such query will generally fetch additional variables which must be declared inside return_set variable in order to be included in the final RETURN statement.

traverse(*paths: tuple[str, ...], **aliased_paths: dict) AsyncNodeSet

Specify a set of paths to traverse.

unique_variables(*paths: str) AsyncNodeSet

Generate unique variable names for the given paths.

vector_query: VectorFilter | None
class neomodel.async_.match.AsyncTraversal(source: Any, name: str, definition: dict)

Models a traversal from a node to another.

Parameters:
  • source (A StructuredNode subclass, an instance of such, a NodeSet instance or a Traversal instance.) – Starting of the traversal.

  • name (str) – A name for the traversal.

  • definition (dict) – A relationship definition that most certainly deserves a documentation here.

definition: dict
filters: list
match(**kwargs: Any) AsyncTraversal

Traverse relationships with properties matching the given parameters.

e.g: .match(price__lt=10)

Parameters:

kwargs – see NodeSet.filter() for syntax

Returns:

self

name: str
source: Any
source_class: Any
target_class: Any
