Open Live Script

Create a Neo4j® database connection using the URL http://localhost:7474/db/data, user name neo4j, and password matlab. 

url = 'http://localhost:7474/db/data';
username = 'neo4j';
password = 'matlab';

neo4jconn = neo4j(url,username,password);

Check the Message property of the Neo4j connection object neo4jconn. The blank Message property indicates a successful connection.

neo4jconn.Message
ans =

     []

Search the database for the node with the node identifier 2 by using the Neo4j database connection neo4jconn.

nodeid = 2;

nodeinfo = searchNodeByID(neo4jconn,nodeid)
nodeinfo = 
  Neo4jNode with properties:

        NodeID: 2
      NodeData: [1×1 struct]
    NodeLabels: 'Person'

nodeinfo is a Neo4jNode object with these properties:

  • Node identifier

  • Node data

  • Node labels

Access the property keys and values of the node using the property NodeData.

nodeinfo.NodeData
ans = struct with fields:
    name: 'User2'

Close the database connection.

close(neo4jconn)
