<script>
export default {
    name: 'MyComponent',
    data() {
        return {
            protocol: 'bolt',
            host: 'localhost',
            port: 7687,
            username: 'neo4j',
            password: 'trustno1'
        }
    },
    methods: {
        connect() {
           return this.$neo4j.connect(this.protocol, this.host, this.port, this.username, this.password)
        },
        driver() {
            // Get a driver instance
            return this.$neo4j.getDriver()
        },
        testQuery() {
            // Get a session from the driver
            const session = this.$neo4j.getSession()

            session.run('MATCH (n) RETURN count(n) AS count')
                .then(res => {
                    console.log(res.records[0].get('count'))
                })
                .then(() => {
                    session.close()
                })
        }
    }
};

this.$neo4j.connect()

Param	Type	Description

String	host	Hostname of Neo4j instance
Number	port	Neo4j Port Number (7876)
String	username	Neo4j Username
String	password	Neo4j Password
Boolean	encrypted	Force an encrypted connection?

Returns a Promise. Resolves to an instance of the Neo4j driver.

this.$neo4j.getDriver()

Returns the last connected driver instance. This method will throw an error if no connection has been made.

this.$neo4j.getSession()

Returns the new session from the driver. This method will throw an error if no connection has been made.

this.$neo4j.run(cypher, params)

Creates a new session in the current driver, runs the query, closes the session and returns the Neo4j result object in one go.

{
    name: 'Profile',
    data() {
        return {
            username: 'adam',
            user: false
        };
    },
    methods: {
        getUser() {
            const query = 'MATCH (u:User { username: {username} }) RETURN u LIMIT 1'
            const params = { username: this.username };

            this.$neo4j.run(query, params)
                .then(res => {
                    const user = res.records[0].get('u');
                    this.user = user;
                });
        }
    }
}

Neo4j Desktop

This plugin contains some handy functions for integrating with Neo4j Desktop. The this.$neo4j.desktop provides helpers for getting the context, active graph configuration/credentials and a function to connect directly to the active graph.

• connectToActiveGraph
• executeJava
• getActiveBoltCredentials
• getActiveGraph
• getContext

this.$neo4j.desktop.connectToActiveGraph()

Connect to the active graph started in Desktop.

this.$neo4j.desktop.connectToActiveGraph()
    .then(driver => {
        this.onConnect(driver);
    });

Connect Form Component

The Connect component will pull all projects and graphs from the Desktop context and allow. you to choose which project and graph to connect to. The onConnect and onConnectError functions will be trigged on successful connection or when a connection error is thrown. This will allow you to set the current state. The showActive button allows you to show or hide the 'Active', which when clicked will search for an active graph and attempt to connect.

The form elements are styled with Bootstrap classes. You can target the elements within the form by using the .vue-neo4j.connect class which is applied to the parent.

<template>
    <VueNeo4jConnect
        :onConnect="myOnConnect"
        :onConnectError="myOnConnectError"
        :showActive="true" />
</template>

<script>
export default {
    name: 'MyComponent',
    methods: {
        myOnConnect(driver) {
            console.log('Connected!')
            console.log(driver)
        },
        myOnConnectError(error) {
            console.error(error)
        }
    }
};
</script>

.vue-neo4j.connect {
    background: blue;
