Syndesi's Cypher Entity Manager

This library provides an entity manager for Cypher data types.
This basically means, that you do not have to write create/merge/delete statements for your nodes, relations etc. per hand. Instead, you just call $em->create($node), $em->merge($node), $em->delete($node) and at the end $em->flush().

/**

 * @var EntityManagerInterface $em 
 */
$em = $container->get(EntityManager::class);

$node = new Node();
$node
    ->addLabel('NodeLabel')
    ->addIdentifier('id', 123)
    ->addProperty('someProperty', 'someValue')
    ->addIdentifier('id');

// create a node:
$em->create($node);
$em->flush();

// update a node:
$node->addProperty('newProperty', 'Hello world :D');
