📄 Enhance Appwrite Databases with Neo4j Adapter

[christyjacob4]

💭 Introduction

Appwrite Databases allows you to store your application and users' data. Not only that, it comes with query system that allows you to read those data. We put a lot of effort into making Appwrite Databases secure by default, and the whole security layer is truly easy to configure. 😇 You can learn more about Appwrite Databases and Appwrite Permissions in our official docs.

Every collection and document in Appwrite Database needs to be stored somewhere, and for that, we have many different adapters such as MySQL or MongoDB. Each provider implements simple methods such as createDocument(), deleteDocument(), find(), etc...

Your task is to implement support for Neo4j in the Utopia PHP database library. We have prepared detailed documentation on how to create a Utopia PHP database adapter. Please read these documents and ensure you understand them before working on this issue.

🎯 Requirements

• Experience with PHP.
• Experience with Neo4j.
• Experience with Docker and Docker Compose.

✅ Task Summary

• Ask to be assigned to the issue.
• Wait to be assigned.
• Implement Utopia PHP database adapter for Neo4j.
• Submit a pull request in utopia-php/database.

If you have questions, need any help, or just want to hang out, make sure to join us on our Discord server.

Happy Appwriting!

Hey @christyjacob4 I would love to work on this. I've worked with Neo4j, and have experience with PHP (though it's been a few years since I've used it last)

[stnguyen90]

@PolarVoid, thanks for your interest! You may work on this issue 🙏 Happy hacking! 🎃

Hey, that guide is super helpful. I'm working on it now :)

[alvinphilips]

Going through some of the Neo4j documentation for PHP, it looks like I may have to use their ne4j-php-client from here.

I browsed around looking for other possible solutions, but this seems like the most feature-rich and maintainable option.

Would it be alright to add this so I can integrate Neo4j as an Adapter?

[codercatdev]

@PolarVoid The client is a community-maintained project and not official. I would recommend using their HTTP API and resorting to the client only if it fails and doesn't work.

[alvinphilips]

@codercatdev Okay, I can do that :)

[alvinphilips]

So progress has been a little slow, but I am still working on this. So far, I've written a class called Neo4jClient that's a small wrapper around cURL requests, and some Adapter functions, which I haven't had time to test yet.

Would it be cool for me to open up a Draft PR up, because I would appreciate further help :)

[Meldiron]

@PolarVoid Thanks for keeping us updated 😇 This task is not a small one, there is nothing wrong with taking your time.

I would love if you opened a draft PR and mentioned all points where you feel stuck. We would gladly point you to the right direction.

[stnguyen90]

@PolarVoid are you still working on this or should we unassing you?

[alvinphilips]

Hey, I'm still working on this :)

I opened up a draft at utopia-php/database/pull/209 and asked for additional help there.
