# NEO4j-API
## Purpose
Purpose of this API is to accelerate the onboarding of graphdb data in cypher query language format to Neo4j

### Use
Build this service as a docker container (docker build)
OR
Clone this repo and compile and run it locally via the console (go build)

### Endpoints
```console
[GET] /api/v1/getAll --> gets all nodes and relations
[GET] /api/v1/getAllNodes --> gets all nodes
[POST] /api/v1/purge --> purges neo4j data, requires key
[POST] /api/v1/addNode --> adds node
[POST] /api/v1/addRelation --> adds relation for nodes
[POST] /api/v1/deleteNode --> deletes node by name property
[POST] /api/v1/deleteRelation --> deletes relation by name property
[GET] /api/v1/health --> health check, good when its containerized
```

#### Node and Relation Properties
One of the challenges on the current Neo4j docs were the ability to add properties unknown before hand. I added some extra utility functions to handle this and leveraged the power of Go's maps..
```go
node.Properties = m["properties"].(map[string]any)
```
### Testing and Seeding
run the seed.sh file in a bash shell. Basically these are a set of curl statements to purge and load the database with some data.
```bash
sh ./seed.sh
```
**/api/v1/purge** [POST] requires the 32 bit key included in the payload. you can get this either from the console (its printed when the api starts) or from the key.txt file which is auto created every time the api / service starts. **This key changes everytime the service / api starts**.
**Note**, if you containerize this to run as a micro service, then the key.txt will be in the container. You can access this via a 'docker exec' command
```json
{
"action": "DELETE",
"key":"679d985808e8dd0178971e838752115b218f2d053cd6eabc0ecb2cd1a2a781bc"
}
```

run the test.sh file to test deletions
```bash
sh ./test.sh
```
#### extra
nodes.json & relations.json contains more example data in native json format. This came from my initial thoughts about the data.
run
```python
python load_json.py
```
this reads the nodes.json and the relations.json file and loads this into Neo4j. You can then use the Neo4j console to visualize the data

#### Payload structs
this maybe helpful for inisight into the JSON payload structure
```go
type Node struct {
Alias string `json:"alias"`
Label string `json:"label"`
ElementId string `json:"elementId,omitempty"`
Properties map[string]any `json:"properties,omitempty"`
}

type Relationship struct {
Relation string `json:"relation"`
RelationProperties map[string]any `json:"relationProperties"`
FromAlias string `json:"fromAlias"`
FromLabel string `json:"fromLabel"`
FromProperties map[string]any `json:"fromProperties"`
ToAlias string `json:"toAlias"`
ToLabel string `json:"toLabel"`
ToProperties map[string]any `json:"toProperties"`
}

type DbActions struct {
Action string `json:"action"`
Node string `json:"node"`
Key string `json:"key"`
}
```
#### The Neo Handler
I didn't like the example code from Neo4j, so i decided to use Receiver Functions and inject a database handler for any function call that needed an neo4j.session
```go
type Neo4jConfiguration struct {
Url string
Username string
Password string
Database string
}

// NeoHandler allows for passing the neo driver from Main() to receiver functions for calling Neo4j sessions..
type NeoHandler struct {
Ctx context.Context
Driver neo4j.DriverWithContext
Config *Neo4jConfiguration
}
```

### Running Neo4j as a container
```bash
docker run -itd -p 0.0.0.0:7474:7474 -p 0.0.0.0:7687:7687 -v $PWD/neo4j-data:/data -v $PWD/neo4j-plugins:/plugins --name neo4j-apoc -e NEO4J_apoc_export_file_enabled=true -e NEO4J_apoc_import_file_enabled=true -e NEO4J_apoc_import_file_use__neo4j__config=true -e NEO4JLABS_PLUGINS=\[\"apoc\"\] neo4j:latest
```
- You need to run this with APOC plugins enabled...

Enjoy!
