Multiple Inner UNWIND Loops

I have a data structure similar to the one below:

 

[
    {
        "ID":"1",
        "team":[
            "team1",
            "team2"
        ],
        "group":[
            "group1",
            "group2"
        ]
    },
    {
        "ID":"2",
        "team":[
        ],
        "group":[
            "group1"
        ]
    },
    {
        "ID":"3",
        "team":[
            "team1",
            "team3"
        ],
        "group":[
            "group3"
        ]
    }
]

 

Where I have a list of dictionaries, which have a list. I want to be able to run a query that iterates over the list like so:

 

for i in main_list:
    for j in i.team:
        # Code Here
    for k in i.group:
        # Code Here

 

But, when I try to do an UNWIND, such as the one below:

 

UNWIND main_list as i
    MERGE (n:USER {id:i.id})
    UNWIND i.teams as team
        MERGE (t:TEAM {name:team})
        MERGE (n)-[:BELONGS_TO]->(t)
    WITH i,n
    UNWIND i.groups as group
        MERGE (g:GROUP {name:group})
        MERGE (n)-[:BELONGS_TO]->(g)
RETURN count(main_list)

 

I think what the cypher query is doing is, but I'm not exactly sure.  

 

for i in main_list:
    for j in i.team:
        # Code Here
        for k in i.group:
            # Code Here

 

What is the best approach to handle multiple inner loops?

Thanks!

Use ‘forEach’ for each inner list instead of ‘unwind’.

Use ‘forEach’ for each inner list instead of ‘unwind’. 

That worked, thanks!
