Example

To construct a query to find all of Tom Hanks' co-actors, you can use the following code:

use function WikibaseSolutions\CypherDSL\node;
use function WikibaseSolutions\CypherDSL\query;

$tom = node("Person")->withProperties(["name" => "Tom Hanks"]);
$coActors = node();

$statement = query()
    ->match($tom->relationshipTo(node(), "ACTED_IN")->relationshipFrom($coActors, "ACTED_IN"))
    ->returning($coActors->property("name"))
    ->build();

This produces the following Cypher query (where $1 is a random variable name):

MATCH (:Person {name: 'Tom Hanks'})-[:ACTED_IN]->()<-[:ACTED_IN]-($1) RETURN $1.name
