## 18.14. Gremlin Plugin

Gremlin is a Groovy based Graph Traversal Language. It provides a very expressive way of explicitly scripting traversals through a Neo4j graph.

The Neo4j Gremlin Plugin provides an endpoint to send Gremlin scripts to the Neo4j Server. The scripts are executed on the server database and the results are returned as Neo4j Node and Relationship representations. This keeps the types throughout the REST API consistent. The results are quite verbose when returning Neo4j `Node`, `Relationship` or `Graph` representations. On the other hand, just return properties like in the Section 18.14.4, “Send a Gremlin Script - JSON encoded with table results” example for responses tailored to specific needs.

### 18.14.1. Send a Gremlin Script - URL encoded

Scripts can be sent as URL-encoded In this example, the graph has been autoindexed by Neo4j, so we can look up the name property on nodes.

Raw script source

    g.idx('node_auto_index')[[name:'I']]._().out()

### 18.14.2. Load a sample graph

Import a graph form a GraphML file can be achieved through the Gremlin GraphMLReader. The following script imports a small GraphML file from an URL into Neo4j, resulting in the depicted graph. It then returns a list of all nodes in the graph.

Raw script source

    g.loadGraphML('https://raw.github.com/neo4j/gremlin-plugin/master/src/data/graphml1.xml')

### 18.14.4. Send a Gremlin Script - JSON encoded with table results

To send a Script JSON encoded, set the payload Content-Type Header. In this example, find all the things that my friends like, and return a table listing my friends by their name, and the names of the things they like in a table with two columns, ignoring the third named step variable `I`. Remember that everything in Gremlin is an iterator - in order to populate the result table `t`, iterate through the pipes with `>> -1`.

Raw script source

    i = g.v(%I%)
    t= new Table()
    i.as('I').out('know').as('friend').out('like').as('likes').table(t,['friend','likes']){it.name}{it.name} >> -1
    t

      "columns" : [ "friend", "likes" ]
    }

### 18.14.5. Set script variables

To set variables in the bindings for the Gremlin Script Engine on the server, you can include a `params` parameter with a String representing a JSON map of variables to set to initial values. These can then be accessed as normal variables within the script.

### 18.14.8. Send an arbitrary Groovy script - Lucene sorting

This example demonstrates that you via the Groovy runtime embedded with the server have full access to all of the servers Java APIs. The below example creates Nodes in the database both via the Blueprints and the Neo4j API indexes the nodes via the native Neo4j Indexing API constructs a custom Lucene sorting and searching returns a Neo4j IndexHits result iterator.

Raw script source

    import org.neo4j.graphdb.index.*
    import org.neo4j.index.lucene.*
    import org.apache.lucene.search.*
    neo4j = g.getRawGraph()
    tx = neo4j.beginTx()
    meVertex = g.addVertex([name:'me'])
    meNode = meVertex.getRawVertex()
    youNode = neo4j.createNode()
    youNode.setProperty('name','you')
    idxManager = neo4j.index()
    personIndex = idxManager.forNodes('persons')
    personIndex.add(meNode,'name',meVertex.name)
    personIndex.add(youNode,'name',youNode.getProperty('name'))
    tx.success()
    tx.finish()

Exporting a graph can be done by simple emitting the appropriate String.

    writer.outputGraph(out)
    result = out.toString()

### 18.14.10. HyperEdges - find user roles in groups

Imagine a user being part of different groups. A group can have different roles, and a user can be part of different groups. He also can have different roles in different groups apart from the membership. The association of a User, a Group and a Role can be referred to as a HyperEdge. However, it can be easily modeled in a property graph as a node that captures this n-ary relationship, as depicted below in the `U1G2R1` node.

To find out in what roles a user is for a particular groups (here Group2), the following script can traverse this HyperEdge node and provide answers.

Raw script source

    g.v(%User1%).out('hasRoleInGroup').as('hyperedge').out('hasGroup').filter{it.name=='Group2'}.back('hyperedge').out('hasRole').name

### 18.14.12. Collect multiple traversal results

Multiple traversals can be combined into a single result, using splitting and merging pipes in a lazy fashion.

Raw script source

    g.idx('node_auto_index')[['name':'Peter']].copySplit(_().out('knows'), _().in('likes')).fairMerge.name

- `Accept:` `application/json`
- `Content-Type:` `application/json`

    {"script": "g.idx('node_auto_index')[['name':'Peter']].copySplit(_().out('knows'), _().in('likes')).fairMerge.name","params": {}},

Example response

### 18.14.13. Collaborative filtering

This example demonstrates basic collaborative filtering - ordering a traversal after occurence counts and substracting objects that are not interesting in the final result.

Here, we are finding Friends-of-Friends that are not Joes friends already. The same can be applied to graphs of users that `LIKE` things and others.

Raw script source

    x=[]
    fof=[:]
    g.v(%Joe%).out('knows').aggregate(x).out('knows').except(x).groupCount(fof)>>-1
    fof.sort{a,b -> b.value <=> a.value}

Example request

- `POST` `http://localhost:7474/db/data/ext/GremlinPlugin/graphdb/execute_script`
- `Accept:` `application/json`
- `Content-Type:` `application/json`

    {"script": "x=[];fof=[:];g.v(53).out('knows').aggregate(x).out('knows').except(x).groupCount(fof)>>-1;fof.sort{a,b -> b.value <=> a.value}","params": {}},

Example response

- `200:` `OK`
- `Content-Type:` `application/json`

    "{v[51]=2, v[50]=1, v[52]=1}"

### 18.14.14. Chunking and offsetting in Gremlin

### 18.14.15. Modify the graph while traversing

This example is showing a group count in Germlin, for instance the counting of the different relationship types connected to some the start node. The result is collected into a variable that then is returned.

Raw script source

    g.v(%Peter%).bothE()each{g.removeEdge(it)
    }
