Changes ↑

Changes from the neo4j.rb

  • Use of YARD instead of RDoc

  • Some tidy up of the API and code

  • Change of Ruby module structure.

  • More RSpecs and more use of mocking combined with real testing of the Java layer

  • Make sure that we retrieve relationships and nodes lazy if possible.

This gem contains two modules: Neo4j and Neo4j::Wrapper The Neo4j module is public and the Neo4j::Wrapper(::*) are private modules.
