Hello community!
I'm new to neo4j and am endeavoring to integrate neo4j into an existing web project, somehow.
Existing app resembles a tree structure, illustrated below
Tree app illustration:
AAAAA
CCC(BBB)
DDD(BBBBB)
AAA
BBBBB
BBB
In the tree app Records may have one maximum parent.
In the tree app Records are identified by a unique set of characters such as AAAA, or CCC(BBB), or DDD(BBBBB) , etc
In the tree app Records may optionally "point" to another Record to indicate some dependency. This is illustrated by the contents in parenthesis "()
"
In the tree app CCC is a child of AAAAA through a par/chil relationship. With Neo4j this would mean that the edge between CCC-AAAAA translates to "IS_A_CHILD_OF
"
In the tree app CCC "points" to BBB through a second custom relationship. With Neo4j this would mean that the edge between CCC-BBB translates to "HAS_SOME_DEPENDENCY_WITH
"
Note that BBB is its own Record, and IS_A_CHILD_OF
BBBBB
How may a javascript developer embed neo4j as javascript such that it represents these tree app Records (which are also provided below as JSON) ? Hopefully neo4j can be embedded as JS, or used in JS, and can produce an interactive graph (view, search, filter) of this data that display the edges that I expect below such as IS_A_CHILD_OF
and HAS_SOME_DEPENDENCY_WITH
.
Tree App records as JSON:
{
"status": 0,
"result": {
"nodes": [
{
"id": "AAAAA",
"parent": ""
},
{
"id": "CCC",
"parent": "AAAAA"
},
{
"id": "DDD",
"parent": "AAAAA"
},
{
"id": "AAA",
"parent": "AAAAA"
},
{
"id": "BBBBB",
"parent": ""
},
{
"id": "BBB",
"parent": "BBBBB"
},
{
"id": "CCC(BBB)",
"parent": "AAAAA"
},
{
"id": "DDD(BBBBB)",
"parent": "AAAAA"
},
],
}
}
If neo4j were integrated into my web app (tree app), I would expect the new graphical app's edges to be similar to the following::
"edges": [
{
"from": "CCC(BBB)", //this represents IS_A_CHILD_OF
"to": "AAAAA"
},
{
"from": "DDD(BBBBB)", //this represents IS_A_CHILD_OF
"to": "AAAAA"
},
{
"from": "AAA", //this represents IS_A_CHILD_OF
"to": "AAAAA"
},
{
"from": "BBB", //this represents IS_A_CHILD_OF
"to": "BBBBB"
},
{
"from": "CCC", //this represents HAS_SOME_DEPENDENCY_WITH !!!!!!!!
"to": "BBB"
},
{
"from": "DDD", //this represents HAS_SOME_DEPENDENCY_WITH !!!!!!!!
"to": "BBBBB"
},
]
Any guidance is very appreciated!
