Driver Lifecycle

One Driver per application. Goroutine-safe, connection-pooled, expensive to create.

func NewNeo4jDriver(uri, user, password string) (neo4j.Driver, error) {
    driver, err := neo4j.NewDriver(
        uri, // "neo4j+s://xxx.databases.neo4j.io" for Aura
        neo4j.BasicAuth(user, password, ""),
    )
    if err != nil {
        return nil, fmt.Errorf("create driver: %w", err)
    }
    ctx := context.Background()
    if err := driver.VerifyConnectivity(ctx); err != nil {
        driver.Close(ctx)
        return nil, fmt.Errorf("verify connectivity: %w", err)
    }
    return driver, nil
}

// In main / app teardown:
defer driver.Close(ctx)

❌ Never create driver per-request. Create once at startup; share across goroutines.

URI schemes: neo4j+s:// (Aura/TLS+routing), neo4j:// (plain+routing), bolt+s:// (TLS+single), bolt:// (plain+single).

Choosing the Right API

APIUse whenAuto-retryLazy results
neo4j.ExecuteQuery()Most queries — simple default✅❌ eager
session.ExecuteRead/Write()Large result sets / streaming✅✅
session.BeginTransaction()Spans multiple functions / ext coordination❌✅
session.Run()CALL IN TRANSACTIONS / auto-commit only❌✅

CALL { … } IN TRANSACTIONS and USING PERIODIC COMMIT manage their own transactions — use session.Run(). They fail inside managed transactions.

Manages sessions, transactions, retries, and bookmarks automatically.

result, err := neo4j.ExecuteQuery(ctx, driver,
    `MATCH (p:Person {name: $name})-[:KNOWS]->(friend)
     RETURN friend.name AS name`,
    map[string]any{"name": "Alice"},
    neo4j.EagerResultTransformer,
    neo4j.ExecuteQueryWithDatabase("neo4j"),       // always specify
    neo4j.ExecuteQueryWithReadersRouting(),         // for read queries
)
if err != nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("query people: %w", err)
}

for _, record := range result.Records {
    name, _ := record.Get("name")
    fmt.Println(name)
}
fmt.Println(result.Summary.Counters().NodesCreated())

Key options:

neo4j.ExecuteQueryWithDatabase("mydb")          // required for performance
neo4j.ExecuteQueryWithReadersRouting()           // route reads to replicas
neo4j.ExecuteQueryWithImpersonatedUser("jane")  // impersonate
neo4j.ExecuteQueryWithoutBookmarkManager()       // opt out of causal consistency

❌ Never concatenate user input into query strings. Always use map[string]any parameters.

Struct parameters [v6.2.0+, Object Mapping preview] — a struct (or pointer) in params is sent as a Cypher map; same rules in Session.Run, ManagedTransaction.Run, ExplicitTransaction.Run:

type Person struct {
    Name     string `neo4j:"name"`
    Age      int    `neo4j:"age,omitempty"`  // zero value dropped
    Internal string `neo4j:"-"`              // never sent
}
_, err := neo4j.ExecuteQuery(ctx, driver,
    "MERGE (p:Person {name: $person.name}) SET p += $person",
    map[string]any{"person": Person{Name: "Alice", Age: 30}},
    neo4j.EagerResultTransformer,
    neo4j.ExecuteQueryWithDatabase("neo4j"),
)

Managed Transactions (Session-Based)

Use for lazy streaming (large result sets) or callback-level control.

session := driver.NewSession(ctx, neo4j.SessionConfig{
    DatabaseName: "neo4j", // always specify
    AccessMode:   neo4j.AccessModeRead,
})
defer session.Close(ctx)

result, err := session.ExecuteRead(ctx,
    func(tx neo4j.ManagedTransaction) (any, error) {
        res, err := tx.Run(ctx,
            `MATCH (p:Person) RETURN p.name AS name LIMIT $limit`,
            map[string]any{"limit": 100},
        )
        if err != nil {
            return nil, err
        }
        var names []string
        for res.Next(ctx) { // lazy — don't Collect() on large sets
            name, _ := res.Record().Get("name")
            names = append(names, name.(string))
        }
        return names, res.Err()
    },
)

❌ No side effects in callback — retried on transient failures. ExecuteRead → replicas. ExecuteWrite → cluster leader.

Explicit Transactions

Use when transaction work spans multiple functions or requires external coordination.

session := driver.NewSession(ctx, neo4j.SessionConfig{DatabaseName: "neo4j"})
defer session.Close(ctx)

tx, err := session.BeginTransaction(ctx)
if err != nil {
    return err
}
if err := doPartA(ctx, tx); err != nil {
    tx.Rollback(ctx)
    return err
}
if err := doPartB(ctx, tx); err != nil {
    tx.Rollback(ctx)
    return err
}
return tx.Commit(ctx)

❌ Not auto-retried. Caller handles retry. Prefer managed transactions unless you need explicit control.

Error Handling

result, err := neo4j.ExecuteQuery(...)
if err != nil {
    var neo4jErr *neo4j.Neo4jError
    if errors.As(err, &neo4jErr) {
        slog.Error("database error", "code", neo4jErr.Code, "msg", neo4jErr.Msg)
    }
    var connErr *neo4j.ConnectivityError
    if errors.As(err, &connErr) {
        slog.Error("connectivity error", "err", connErr)
    }
    return fmt.Errorf("execute query: %w", err)
}

Helpers:

neo4j.IsNeo4jError(err)                // server-side Cypher/database error
neo4j.IsTransactionExecutionLimit(err) // managed tx retries exhausted

In managed tx callback: return error → driver retries if transient. ConnectivityError at startup: check URI scheme, credentials, firewall.

neo4j.GetRecordValue[string](record, "name")

// Manual extraction:
rawAge, ok := record.Get("age")
if !ok { return errors.New("missing 'age' field") }
age := rawAge.(int64) // Neo4j integers → int64

// Node access:
rawNode, _ := record.Get("p")
node := rawNode.(neo4j.Node)
name := node.Props["name"].(string)
labels := node.Labels // []string

❌ Always check ok from record.Get() before type-asserting — panics on missing key. ❌ After lazy for res.Next(ctx) loop, always check res.Err().

Key Patterns

Context — always propagate

ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(parentCtx, 5*time.Second)
defer cancel()
// pass ctx to all driver calls

context.Background() has no deadline — slow queries block indefinitely.

Batching Writes

// Bad: one transaction per record
for _, item := range items {
    neo4j.ExecuteQuery(ctx, driver, writeQuery, item, ...)
}

// Good: UNWIND batch in one transaction
neo4j.ExecuteQuery(ctx, driver,
    `UNWIND $items AS item
     MERGE (n:Node {id: item.id})
     SET n += item`,
    map[string]any{"items": items},
    neo4j.EagerResultTransformer,
    neo4j.ExecuteQueryWithDatabase("neo4j"),
)

Generic Helpers (v6+)

Prefer type-safe helpers over manual assertions:

// GetRecordValue[T] — extract + cast in one call
name, isNil, err := neo4j.GetRecordValue[string](record, "name")
// isNil=true when OPTIONAL MATCH returned null; err != nil when key absent or wrong type

// CollectTWithContext — map all records to a slice
people, err := neo4j.CollectTWithContext(ctx, result, func(record *neo4j.Record) (Person, error) {
    name, _, err := neo4j.GetRecordValue[string](record, "name")
    age, _, _   := neo4j.GetRecordValue[int64](record, "age")
    return Person{Name: name, Age: int(age)}, err
})

// SingleTWithContext — expect exactly one record (error if 0 or 2+)
person, err := neo4j.SingleTWithContext(ctx, result, func(record *neo4j.Record) (Person, error) {
    name, _, _ := neo4j.GetRecordValue[string](record, "name")
    return Person{Name: name}, nil
})

// GetProperty — typed property from Node or Relationship
node, _, _ := neo4j.GetRecordValue[neo4j.Node](record, "p")
nameVal, err := neo4j.GetProperty[string](node, "name")

Result mapping [v6.3.0+, Object Mapping preview] — map records onto neo4j-tagged structs (same tags as struct parameters):

type Person struct {
    Name string `neo4j:"name"`
    Age  int    `neo4j:"age"`   // INTEGER converted; lossy conversion → error, not truncation
}

// EagerResult from ExecuteQuery
res, err := neo4j.ExecuteQuery(ctx, driver,
    "MATCH (p:Person) RETURN p.name AS name, p.age AS age LIMIT 25",
    nil, neo4j.EagerResultTransformer, neo4j.ExecuteQueryWithDatabase("neo4j"))
people, err := neo4j.CollectRecordsAs[Person](res.Records)

// Streaming Result inside a transaction
all, err := neo4j.CollectAs[Person](ctx, result)      // all records
person, err := neo4j.SingleAs[Person](ctx, result)    // exactly one record
p, err := neo4j.As[Person](record)                    // single record

Mapping rules: one column holding a node, relationship, or map → its properties map to fields; otherwise columns map by name. Missing/null → zero value; extra columns ignored.

Spatial Types

// 2D Cartesian (SRID 7203), 3D Cartesian (SRID 9157)
pt2d := neo4j.Point2D{X: 1.23, Y: 4.56, SpatialRefId: 7203}
pt3d := neo4j.Point3D{X: 1.23, Y: 4.56, Z: 7.89, SpatialRefId: 9157}

// 2D WGS-84 (SRID 4326), 3D WGS-84 (SRID 4979)
london := neo4j.Point2D{X: -0.118092, Y: 51.509865, SpatialRefId: 4326}
shard  := neo4j.Point3D{X: -0.0865, Y: 51.5045, Z: 310, SpatialRefId: 4979}

// Pass as parameter
result, err := neo4j.ExecuteQuery(ctx, driver,
    "CREATE (p:Place {location: $loc})",
    map[string]any{"loc": london},
    neo4j.EagerResultTransformer,
    neo4j.ExecuteQueryWithDatabase("neo4j"),
)

// Read from result — assert to Point2D or Point3D
raw, _ := record.Get("location")
if p2d, ok := raw.(neo4j.Point2D); ok

## Driver Lifecycle

One `Driver` per application. Goroutine-safe, connection-pooled, expensive to create.

```go
func NewNeo4jDriver(uri, user, password string) (neo4j.Driver, error) {
    driver, err := neo4j.NewDriver(
        uri, // "neo4j+s://xxx.databases.neo4j.io" for Aura
        neo4j.BasicAuth(user, password, ""),
    )
    if err != nil {
        return nil, fmt.Errorf("create driver: %w", err)
    }
    ctx := context.Background()
    if err := driver.VerifyConnectivity(ctx); err != nil {
        driver.Close(ctx)
        return nil, fmt.Errorf("verify connectivity: %w", err)
    }
    return driver, nil
}

// In main / app teardown:
defer driver.Close(ctx)
```

❌ Never create driver per-request. Create once at startup; share across goroutines.

URI schemes: `neo4j+s://` (Aura/TLS+routing), `neo4j://` (plain+routing), `bolt+s://` (TLS+single), `bolt://` (plain+single).

---

## Choosing the Right API

| API | Use when | Auto-retry | Lazy results |
|-----|----------|:----------:|:------------:|
| `neo4j.ExecuteQuery()` | Most queries — simple default | ✅ | ❌ eager |
| `session.ExecuteRead/Write()` | Large result sets / streaming | ✅ | ✅ |
| `session.BeginTransaction()` | Spans multiple functions / ext coordination | ❌ | ✅ |
| `session.Run()` | `CALL IN TRANSACTIONS` / auto-commit only | ❌ | ✅ |

`CALL { … } IN TRANSACTIONS` and `USING PERIODIC COMMIT` manage their own transactions — use `session.Run()`. They fail inside managed transactions.

---

## ExecuteQuery (Recommended Default)

Manages sessions, transactions, retries, and bookmarks automatically.

```go
result, err := neo4j.ExecuteQuery(ctx, driver,
    `MATCH (p:Person {name: $name})-[:KNOWS]->(friend)
     RETURN friend.name AS name`,
    map[string]any{"name": "Alice"},
    neo4j.EagerResultTransformer,
    neo4j.ExecuteQueryWithDatabase("neo4j"),       // always specify
    neo4j.ExecuteQueryWithReadersRouting(),         // for read queries
)
if err != nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("query people: %w", err)
}

for _, record := range result.Records {
    name, _ := record.Get("name")
    fmt.Println(name)
}
fmt.Println(result.Summary.Counters().NodesCreated())
```

Key options:
```go
neo4j.ExecuteQueryWithDatabase("mydb")          // required for performance
neo4j.ExecuteQueryWithReadersRouting()           // route reads to replicas
neo4j.ExecuteQueryWithImpersonatedUser("jane")  // impersonate
neo4j.ExecuteQueryWithoutBookmarkManager()       // opt out of causal consistency
```

❌ Never concatenate user input into query strings. Always use `map[string]any` parameters.

Struct parameters [v6.2.0+, Object Mapping preview] — a struct (or pointer) in `params` is sent as a Cypher map; same rules in `Session.Run`, `ManagedTransaction.Run`, `ExplicitTransaction.Run`:
```go
type Person struct {
    Name     string `neo4j:"name"`
    Age      int    `neo4j:"age,omitempty"`  // zero value dropped
    Internal string `neo4j:"-"`              // never sent
}
_, err := neo4j.ExecuteQuery(ctx, driver,
    "MERGE (p:Person {name: $person.name}) SET p += $person",
    map[string]any{"person": Person{Name: "Alice", Age: 30}},
    neo4j.EagerResultTransformer,
    neo4j.ExecuteQueryWithDatabase("neo4j"),
)
```

---

## Managed Transactions (Session-Based)

Use for lazy streaming (large result sets) or callback-level control.

```go
session := driver.NewSession(ctx, neo4j.SessionConfig{
    DatabaseName: "neo4j", // always specify
    AccessMode:   neo4j.AccessModeRead,
})
defer session.Close(ctx)

result, err := session.ExecuteRead(ctx,
    func(tx neo4j.ManagedTransaction) (any, error) {
        res, err := tx.Run(ctx,
            `MATCH (p:Person) RETURN p.name AS name LIMIT $limit`,
            map[string]any{"limit": 100},
        )
        if err != nil {
            return nil, err
        }
        var names []string
        for res.Next(ctx) { // lazy — don't Collect() on large sets
            name, _ := res.Record().Get("name")
            names = append(names, name.(string))
        }
        return names, res.Err()
    },
)
```

❌ No side effects in callback — retried on transient failures.
`ExecuteRead` → replicas. `ExecuteWrite` → cluster leader.

---

## Explicit Transactions

Use when transaction work spans multiple functions or requires external coordination.

```go
session := driver.NewSession(ctx, neo4j.SessionConfig{DatabaseName: "neo4j"})
defer session.Close(ctx)

tx, err := session.BeginTransaction(ctx)
if err != nil {
    return err
}
if err := doPartA(ctx, tx); err != nil {
    tx.Rollback(ctx)
    return err
}
if err := doPartB(ctx, tx); err != nil {
    tx.Rollback(ctx)
    return err
}
return tx.Commit(ctx)
```

❌ Not auto-retried. Caller handles retry. Prefer managed transactions unless you need explicit control.

---

## Error Handling

```go
result, err := neo4j.ExecuteQuery(...)
if err != nil {
    var neo4jErr *neo4j.Neo4jError
    if errors.As(err, &neo4jErr) {
        slog.Error("database error", "code", neo4jErr.Code, "msg", neo4jErr.Msg)
    }
    var connErr *neo4j.ConnectivityError
    if errors.As(err, &connErr) {
        slog.Error("connectivity error", "err", connErr)
    }
    return fmt.Errorf("execute query: %w", err)
}
```

Helpers:
```go
neo4j.IsNeo4jError(err)                // server-side Cypher/database error
neo4j.IsTransactionExecutionLimit(err) // managed tx retries exhausted
```

In managed tx callback: return error → driver retries if transient.
`ConnectivityError` at startup: check URI scheme, credentials, firewall.

---

## Data Types

| Cypher | Go |
|--------|----|
| `Integer` | `int64` |
| `Float` | `float64` |
| `String` | `string` |
| `Boolean` | `bool` |
| `List` | `[]any` |
| `Map` | `map[string]any` |
| `Node` | `neo4j.Node` |
| `Relationship` | `neo4j.Relationship` |
| `Path` | `neo4j.Path` |
| `Date` | `neo4j.Date` |
| `DateTime` | `neo4j.Time` |
| `Duration` | `neo4j.Duration` |
| `UUID` | `neo4j.UUID` (= `dbtype.UUID`, `[16]byte` RFC 9562) — v6.2.0+, Bolt 6.1; parse with `dbtype.ParseUUID(s)`, render with `.String()` |
| `null` | `nil` |

```go
// Typed extraction (v6+, preferred):
neo4j.GetRecordValue[string](record, "name")

// Manual extraction:
rawAge, ok := record.Get("age")
if !ok { return errors.New("missing 'age' field") }
age := rawAge.(int64) // Neo4j integers → int64

// Node access:
rawNode, _ := record.Get("p")
node := rawNode.(neo4j.Node)
name := node.Props["name"].(string)
labels := node.Labels // []string
```

❌ Always check `ok` from `record.Get()` before type-asserting — panics on missing key.
❌ After lazy `for res.Next(ctx)` loop, always check `res.Err()`.

---

## Key Patterns

### Context — always propagate

```go
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(parentCtx, 5*time.Second)
defer cancel()
// pass ctx to all driver calls
```

`context.Background()` has no deadline — slow queries block indefinitely.

### Batching Writes

```go
// Bad: one transaction per record
for _, item := range items {
    neo4j.ExecuteQuery(ctx, driver, writeQuery, item, ...)
}

// Good: UNWIND batch in one transaction
neo4j.ExecuteQuery(ctx, driver,
    `UNWIND $items AS item
     MERGE (n:Node {id: item.id})
     SET n += item`,
    map[string]any{"items": items},
    neo4j.EagerResultTransformer,
    neo4j.ExecuteQueryWithDatabase("neo4j"),
)
```

### Generic Helpers (v6+)

Prefer type-safe helpers over manual assertions:

```go
// GetRecordValue[T] — extract + cast in one call
name, isNil, err := neo4j.GetRecordValue[string](record, "name")
// isNil=true when OPTIONAL MATCH returned null; err != nil when key absent or wrong type

// CollectTWithContext — map all records to a slice
people, err := neo4j.CollectTWithContext(ctx, result, func(record *neo4j.Record) (Person, error) {
    name, _, err := neo4j.GetRecordValue[string](record, "name")
    age, _, _   := neo4j.GetRecordValue[int64](record, "age")
    return Person{Name: name, Age: int(age)}, err
})

// SingleTWithContext — expect exactly one record (error if 0 or 2+)
person, err := neo4j.SingleTWithContext(ctx, result, func(record *neo4j.Record) (Person, error) {
    name, _, _ := neo4j.GetRecordValue[string](record, "name")
    return Person{Name: name}, nil
})

// GetProperty — typed property from Node or Relationship
node, _, _ := neo4j.GetRecordValue[neo4j.Node](record, "p")
nameVal, err := neo4j.GetProperty[string](node, "name")
```

Result mapping [v6.3.0+, Object Mapping preview] — map records onto `neo4j`-tagged structs (same tags as struct parameters):
```go
type Person struct {
    Name string `neo4j:"name"`
    Age  int    `neo4j:"age"`   // INTEGER converted; lossy conversion → error, not truncation
}

Mapping rules: one column holding a node, relationship, or map → its properties map to fields; otherwise columns map by name. Missing/null → zero value; extra columns ignored.

### Spatial Types

```go
// 2D Cartesian (SRID 7203), 3D Cartesian (SRID 9157)
pt2d := neo4j.Point2D{X: 1.23, Y: 4.56, SpatialRefId: 7203}

// 2D WGS-84 (SRID 4326), 3D WGS-84 (SRID 4979)
london := neo4j.Point2D{X: -0.118092, Y: 51.509865, SpatialRefId: 4326}
shard  := neo4j.Point3D{X: -0.0865, Y: 51.5045, Z: 310, SpatialRefId: 4979}

// Pass as parameter
result, err := neo4j.ExecuteQuery(ctx, driver,
    "CREATE (p:Place {location: $loc})",
    map[string]any{"loc": london},

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

  1. 1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
  2. 2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
  3. 3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
