IMPORTANT: This repository of SDN/RX was set to read-only mode.
We migrated the project as the successor of the original Spring Data Neo4j to https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-neo4j.
We have moved the issues to the https://jira.spring.io/projects/DATAGRAPH[Spring Jira] where we also will track the new ones.


[abstract]
--
Spring Data Neo4j⚡️RX - or in short _SDN/RX_ - is an ongoing effort to create the next generation of Spring Data Neo4j, with full reactive support and lightweight mapping.
SDN/RX will work with immutable entities, regardless whether written in Java or Kotlin.
--

The primary goal of the https://projects.spring.io/spring-data[Spring Data] project is to make it easier to build Spring-powered applications that use new data access technologies such as non-relational databases, map-reduce frameworks, and cloud based data services.

The SDN/RX project aims to provide a familiar and consistent Spring-based programming model for integrating with the https://neo4j.com/[Neo4j] Graph Database.

== Manual

For a gentle introduction and some getting started guides, please use our
https://neo4j.github.io/sdn-rx[Manual].

== Getting Started

Here is a quick teaser of a reactive application using Spring Data Repositories in Java:

[source,java]
----
@Node
public class Person {
    private Long id;
    private String name;

    public Person(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

@Repository
interface PersonRepository extends ReactiveNeo4jRepository<Person, Long> {

    Flux<Person> findAllByName(String name);

    Flux<Person> findAllByNameLike(String name);
}

@Service
class MyService {

    @Autowired
    private final PersonRepository repository;

    @Transactional
    public Flux<Person> doWork() {

        Person emil = new Person("Emil");
        Person gerrit = new Person("Gerrit");
        Person michael = new Person("Michael");

        // Persist entities and relationships to graph database
        return repository.saveAll(Flux.just(emil, gerrit, michael));
    }
}
----

TIP: SDN/RX is not only about reactive support, all features are available in both ways: Imperative and reactive, we
     only prefer to showcase the new reactive database access support here.

=== Maven configuration

==== With Spring Boot

If you are on https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot[Spring Boot], all you have to do is to add our starter:

[source,xml,subs="verbatim,attributes"]
----
<dependency>
	<groupId>{groupId}</groupId>
	<artifactId>{artifactIdStarter}</artifactId>
	<version>{spring-data-neo4j-rx-version}</version>
</dependency>
----

and configure your database connection:

[source,properties]
----
org.neo4j.driver.uri=bolt://localhost:7687
org.neo4j.driver.authentication.username=neo4j
org.neo4j.driver.authentication.password=secret
----

Please have a look at our https://neo4j.github.io/sdn-rx[manual] for an overview about the architecture, how to define
mappings and more.

==== Without Spring Boot

If you are using a plain Spring Framework project without Spring Boot, please add this Maven dependency:

[source,xml,subs="verbatim,attributes"]
----
<dependency>
	<groupId>{groupId}</groupId>
	<artifactId>{artifactId}</artifactId>
	<version>{spring-data-neo4j-rx-version}</version>
</dependency>
----

and configure SDN/RX for reactive database access like this:

[source,java]
----
@Configuration
@EnableReactiveNeo4jRepositories
@EnableTransactionManagement
class MyConfiguration extends AbstractReactiveNeo4jConfig {

    @Bean
    public Driver driver() {
        return GraphDatabase.driver("bolt://localhost:7687", AuthTokens.basic("neo4j", "secret"));
    }

    @Override
    protected Collection<String> getMappingBasePackages() {
        return Collections.singletonList(Person.class.getPackage().getName());
    }
}
----

The imperative version looks pretty much the same but uses `EnableNeo4jRepositories`  and `AbstractNeo4jConfig`.

IMPORTANT: We recommend Spring Boot, the automatic configuration and especially the dependency management
           through the Starters in contrast to the manual work of managing dependencies and configuration.
