Accessing map values from neo4, apoc, Cypher












0















I am still rather new to Neo4j, Cypher and programming in general.



Is there a way to access the posted output below, i.e. access the "count" values for every "item“ (which has to be the pair), and also access the "item" values? I need the amount of how often a pair, i.e. specific neighboring nodes occur not only as information, but as values with which I can further work with in order to adjust my graph.



My last lines of code (in the preceding lines I just ordered the nodes sequentially):



...

WITH apoc.coll.pairs(a) as pairsOfa

WITH apoc.coll.frequencies(pairsOfa) AS giveBackFrequencyOfPairsOfa

UNWIND giveBackFrequencyOfPairsOfa AS x

WITH DISTINCT x

RETURN x


Output from the Neo4j Browser that I need to work with:



"x"            


│{"count":1,"item":[{"aName“:"Rob","time":1},{"aName":"Edwin“,"time“:2}]},{„count“:4,“item":[{"aName":"Edwin","time":2},{"aName“:"Celesta","time":3}]}

...

  • Your description is a little confusing. Can you provide an example of desired output with some additional context?

Based on your code, your result should contain multiple x records (not a single record, as implied by the "output" provided in your question). Here is an example of what I would expect:



╒══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╕
│"x" │
╞══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╡
│{"count":1,"item":[{"aName":"Rob","time":1},{"aName":"Edwin","time":2}│
│]} │
├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│{"count":1,"item":[{"aName":"Edwin","time":2},{"aName":"Celesta","time│
│":3}]} │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘


If that is true, then you can just access the count and item properties of each x directly via x.count and x.item. To get each value within an item, you could use x.item[0] and x.item[1].



Asides: you probably want to use apoc.coll.pairsMin instead of apoc.coll.pairs, to avoid the generation of a spurious "pair" (whose second element is null) when the number of values to be paired is odd. Also, you probably do not need the DISTINCT step.
