Plugin Compatibility? about pypher HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @ProjectCheshire

I use the APOC functions. I follow along with: #8

For example, I use apoc.text.join, apoc.date.convert, and apoc.date.currentTimestamp a good bit. (Although, those two date functions will soon be replaced with the native Neo4j datetime support)

Before my Pypher query I do:

create_function('apoc_text_join', {'name': 'apoc.text.join'}, func_raw=True)
create_function('apoc_date_convert', {'name': 'apoc.date.convert'})
create_function('apoc_date_current_timestamp', {'name': 'apoc.date.currentTimestamp'})

Then in my query to use I would do:

p.Match.node('u', 'User')
p.Return.apoc_text_join(__.List(__.u.__first_name__, __.u.__last_name__), "' '").alias('name')

I was thinking about adding a separate doc that has examples of different type of queries. So it can show how to write different types. Just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm not sure if I understand what you're asking. From what I understand the standard plugins are Java, do you want to mix Python into your Java or a Pypher-like query builder for Java?

Ohh that makes so much sense. Thanks @g3rd.

Let me ask you both: is there something that could be included in the readme to make this clearer?
