Neo4j Browser

Neo4j Browser is the general purpose graphical user interface for Neo4j. Query, visualize, administer and monitor the database with modern and easy-to-use tools.

Demo

You can try out the latest (unreleased) version of Neo4j Browser at http://browser-canary.graphapp.io/.

Keep in mind that you will need to connect to an instance of Neo4j (the database) for most operations in Neo4j Browser. A simple way to get started is through Neo4j Desktop. Once you've started a database it's by default available for Neo4j Browser to connect to on localhost:7687.

Contributions welcome! More information in our CONTRIBUTING.md.

Project structure

Browser has a subproject of re-usable components bundled together and exposed as neo4j-arc. Rather than set up mono-repo tooling the we've set up eslint to isolate neo4j-arc and given it a seperate build step. Code in browser can only to import code from neo4j-arc through neo4j-arc aliases (as if it was a seperate project) and neo4j-arc is not allowed to import any code from outside it's own folder.

Development

Running Neo4j Browser locally requires Node.js (^12.4.0) and for dependencies we use yarn (npm install -g yarn). To install dependencies and then start the development server at http://localhost:8080:

yarn install
yarn start

Or to run in production mode:

yarn start-prod

Testing overview

Neo4j Browser has both unit and end to end tests running automatically on every pull request. To run the tests locally:

yarn test-unit runs a linter and then our unit tests.

yarn test-e2e runs our Cypress end to end tests in the easiest, slowest way. Running them with this command requires docker installed and that nothing else runs on ports 7687 and 8080.

Cypress e2e test suite in depth

yarn e2e-open to open the Cypress test runner (requires a fresh installation of Neo4j to run against, expects neo4j 3.5 by default). See details below on how to configure database version.

yarn e2e-local-open to run against an existing server (with a password already set). We use newpassword as the default password here, make sure to pass your password: yarn e2e-local-open --env browser-password=<your-password-here>

To avoid opening the Cypress test runner and just run the tests in the terminal, remove the "-open" suffix from the previous two commands (so yarn e2e and yarn e2e-local respectively).

So to run tests on your existing 4.2 database with the password "hunter2" without opening the Cypress visual test runner: yarn e2e-local --env browser-password=hunter2,server=4.2

All the available options for --env are:

server=3.5|4.0|4.1|4.2|4.3 (default 4.3)
edition=enterprise|community|aura (default enterprise)
browser-password=<your-pw> (default 'newpassword')
include-import-tests=true|false (default false)
bolt-url=<bolt url excluding the protocol> (default localhost:7687)

There are some additional options that can only be set as system environmental variables (meaning they cannot be set using the --env flag as the ones above). These needs to be set before the test command is run.

CYPRESS_E2E_TEST_ENV=local|null (if the initial set of pw should run or not) (default undefined)
CYPRESS_BASE_URL=<url to reach the browser to test> (default http://localhost:8080)

Example: CYPRESS_E2E_TEST_ENV="local" CYPRESS_BASE_URL=http://localhost:30000 cypress open --env server=4.2

neo4j-browser's Issues

Bug: In single-line mode up/down key recalls history when not expected

In single-line mode, the typed command can wrap into multiple lines (it is still single-line mode because pressing Enter will execute the command, and the prompt shows $, not 1 2 3).

It is natural to use the up/down arrows to move up and down the wrapped multiple lines (works fine and is an expected behavior in any normal text box). But in Neo4j browser, this recalls previously executed commands instead.

It wouldn't be so bad, if the browser saved the command I was editing (not yet executed), and I could recall the draft command by pressing the arrow in the opposite direction. But this is not the case. Often I have been really frustrated because I am editing a draft command and I (naturally) press an up/down key to move the cursor from line to line, but suddenly the whole command is gone and replaced with a previously executed command.

And the draft command is really gone, there's no way to get it back. I have to type out the command all over again. It's really frustrating especially when I had done a lot of edits, and suddenly they are all lost.

Ideally:

1. Drafted commands must be saved automatically and we should be able to recall them by moving past the end of history.
2. Moving cursor between lines in wrapped single-command mode must be supported. Only when I'm at the top line, and I press Up should it recall history. Otherwise, no! I don't expect history. I expect to be able to move the cursor around.
3. Adding to last point, being at the bottom line and pressing Down should not clear the text box.

Guides: play-topic URLs converted to all lowercase

I've created a guide that contains the following HTML:

<a play-topic="http://neo4j.het.io/guides/rep/DB00341/DOID_2841.html">Does Cetirizine treat asthma?</a>

In Neo4j 3.0.2, when I click to play, the following command is executed:

:play http://neo4j.het.io/guides/rep/db00341/doid_2841.html

This fails with a HTTP Status: 404 - Not Found / No such topic to play. error. The issue is that the URL is invalid since it was converted to lowercase.

I suspect the to lowercase functionality makes sense for making builtin guides, such as :play cyPhER, case agnostic. However, it's problematic if the guide is a URL where case is critical.

Setting AUTO-COMPLETE to OFF by default

I have created several guides that help users explore my network from the Neo4j Browser. However, the queries are designed to render with AUTO-COMPLETE set to OFF (only relationships that were queried get displayed). Is there a query- or database-level setting to turn the default AUTO-COMPLETE behavior to OFF?

I would also like to raise some arguments in favor of defaulting to OFF in future releases:

• it's confusing to get relationships that were not queried.
• the browser can get bogged down by excessive relationships in a dense graph.

AUTO-COMPLETE is a great feature, but I think it makes the most sense as an option that the user explicitly enables upon request.

Validate grass file uploads to avoid graph display bork

I ran into this same problem:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22049798/neo4j-2-0-1-graphstyle-grass-stylesheet-issue

but it seems that hacking the browser via dev tools is not the most graceful way to recover. If the uploaded grass is bad, I would think the browser would kick it back.

Now, where is that Firefox manual...

Save state of graph layout in neo4j web interface.

From @pumplerod on December 14, 2012 17:54

It would be a HUGE help to be able to save the positional state of nodes in the visualization graph.

I often write queries to change parameter values and because the values do not update I have to refresh the graph which causes everything to scramble again.

What I'd love is to assemble nodes into a layout that works for me and then lock those nodes down so that when I refresh the only thing to change would be the label and parameter values.

Playing guides from URL fails despite CORS being enabled

I am trying to play guides from URLs in the Neo4j 3.0.1 Community browser.

The specific browser command I am using to troubleshoot is:

:play https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dhimmel/83829c940d1b118af775c8e9ac6746a1/raw/81c93e06b168f70da8511b9109a170ee636ed23d/clofarabine-MS.html

Prior to setting browser.remote_content_hostname_whitelist=* in conf/neo4j.conf, I was getting the following error as expected:

Requested host is not whitelisted in browser.remote_content_hostname_whitelist.

However, now that I have whitelisted all remote content hosts, I get the following error:

No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource and can therefore not be played.

However, the URL I'm playing the guide from appears to include Access-Control-Allow-Origin:* in its response header. Hence, I think we may have a bug on our hands.

CCing @jexp who first mentioned guides to me.

Feature request: Create connections in the console using the mouse

From @Joshfindit on October 23, 2015 2:55

If drag-and-drop is functional:

• Clicking on a node, then dragging to another node shows an indicator that there will be a connection (for example, a low-opacity connection arrow)
• On mouse release, a dialog comes up for a label.
• When enter is pressed in the dialog, the connection is made with the dialog entry as the label

If drag-and-drop is not functional:

• Clicking on a node selects it
• Clicking on a node while pressing a modifier key brings up a dialog that asks for a label
• When enter is pressed in the dialog, the connection is made with the dialog entry as the label

In both cases, the user would expect that the connection is one-way starting with the first node, and directed at the second node.

(feature request) Browser: import/export queries

From @mindrones on February 5, 2015 19:14

Import

• Instead of dragging files from the file explorer/finder, it would be more practical to have a button "Import" that opens a classical file selector. This would avoid finding the Finder window, move it a bit, then drag the files.
• It would be nice to import a whole folder, maybe constraining the permitted files to a certain extension? (.cql?)

Export

• It would be useful to be able to export single queries to file just by pressing a export button, which would open a file selector where we can navigate a folder and set a name for this export file.

• if this gets implemented, it would also be useful to export a favorites "folder" as:

  • a single .cql containing all queries, OR
  • a file per query

  In this second case, a convention could be that if queries start with a comment then we use that as file title.

  Example

  Query:
  // find all animals
match (n:animal) return n

  Automatic filename:
  find_all_animals.cql

Export self contained interactive html page of result set.

From @chrisgogreen on December 25, 2013 17:27

I want to send the results of a Cypher query in visual form to a team member. If in addition to the current csv export we could download a zip archive with the files: index.html, styles.css, scripts.js, data.json all tied together so the user can just open the index.html and explore the data with a subset of features from the browser. Currently I just screen-print the graph results which doesn't allow viewing properties or changing the css.

populate data browser query field from url

From @collin on January 22, 2015 20:5

For debugging purposes it'd be great to be able to log out a url like...

http://neo4jhost:7474/browser/?query=MATCH (n:Label)-[:relationship]->(m:label {property:'value'} return n, m

And be able to just open that url in a browser and have the data browser automatically run that query.
Would that be easy to implement in the data browser?

Feature request: Allow parameterization in browser

A Neo4j browser query might look like this:

CREATE (n:person {name: "Joe Smith"})

However, Neo4j queries sent through the API usually look like this, because of the advantages of parameterization:

CREATE (n:person {name: {x}}) {x: "Joe Smith"}

I don't think the neo4j browser supports this format, so queries from an application have to be rewritten for the browser. Could support for parameterized queries be added? Thanks.

Saved Scripts in Web UI Issue

From @edschembor on July 22, 2014 0:29

So I'm not sure if this would could as a feature request or an issue.

If you run a saved script in the Web UI and then cntrl-up to grab it from your history of searches, it no longer appears as a saved search. ie) the star is no longer gold and saving it creates a copy as opposed to overwriting.

Pretty new to Neo4j, but I want to get involved with development so I'll try to look into the issue myself

CSS / GRASS Doesn't Parse '<node>' in Caption

From @typinator on September 7, 2015 6:33

It should be possible to display the label(s) of a node in a web browser.
http://neo4j.com/developer/guide-neo4j-browser/ states that this is possible using the CSS statement:

caption: '{name} of ';

This however just results in '' appearing in the caption for the node.

This is repeatable in the 2.2.4 and 2.2.5 web browser.

URI as CSS class doesn't work

From @zazi on April 10, 2015 14:26

In our project we write RDF into neo4j. We utilise RDF types as labels in neo4j. All RDF types are URIs. Since neo4j 2.2.0 the graph rendering in the web interface changed a bit, i.e., now you are fully utilising the labels as CSS classes, but, e.g.,

node.http://d-nb.info/standards/elementset/gnd#Gods

doesn't work, i.e., now I cannot manipulate the displaying node caption anymore, since I do not produce valid CSS with URIs as CSS classes. The URI grammar (syntax; https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986) is not valid to the CSS class grammar (syntax; http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css2/syndata.html).

Query returns lots of nodes but no relationships - nothing visible

From @kenahoo-windlogics on December 29, 2014 22:55

In the neo4j browser, the following query returns "797 nodes, 796 relationships", and all are visible in the graphical output:

MATCH (a {id:"08363_A"}) WITH a MATCH a-[:CONNECTS_TO*..28]->b RETURN a, b;

However, the same query with 1 more degree of separation allowed returns "804 nodes, 0 relationships" and nothing at all is visible in the output:

MATCH (a {id:"08363_A"}) WITH a MATCH a-[:CONNECTS_TO*..29]->b RETURN a, b;

Both queries return quite fast.

Is this a known bug? I'm using Neo4j Community edition, v2.1.6, and Chrome 39.0.2171.95 (64-bit), both on a single Ubuntu 14.10 machine.

Create relationship between nodes via the neo4j web browser

From @thomasfr on February 25, 2014 15:42

At the moment it is not possible to create a single relationship from one node to another from within the neo4j web browser without cypher.
One possibility to do this would be to add marker when one hovers over a node. When clicking on this marker, all other visible nodes also get this marker added. after clicking on one of these markers the relationship type has to be entered. After pressing enter the relationship gets created and the corresponding cypher query gets displayed in the browser console.

Configuring a Neo4j Browser with a default custom GRASS style

I've created a public read-only instance of our Neo4j database at http://neo4j.het.io/ (thanks @jexp for the help). I'd like to have a custom GRASS style applied to every browser instance by default.

On StackOverflow @ikwattro mentioned that:

The style is set in the browser local storage, I'm afraid all users will have to issue the :style command.

So I could always instruct users to run:

:style https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dhimmel/hetionet/383152be2c07f8f5427dd7069535c82b0c5e8d85/hetnet/neo4j/graphstyle.grass

Is there an automated workaround, so users don't have to execute this command? If not, then I'd like suggest a feature request to couple a specific Neo4j database with a custom style. It seems like styles make sense on a per database level, rather than a per browser level. Or perhaps on a per database per browser level, but with a database default.

Browser unable to show relationships in the graph under "Database Information" drawer

If the relationship has a " (double quote) in its name then the browser is unable to show the relationships under the database information drawer.

See screen shot below where it worked after trying 3 times then failed again.

Since it succeeded after 42 seconds on that 4th time, it's probably a timeout or memory issue but the error message is not helping. Is there a server configuration that could help?

Browser: hover text to explain icons in :sysinfo output

From @mbyrne00 on January 27, 2016 3:13

:sysinfo or :play sysinfo has icons and different background colours in the Cluster section. It would be nice if you could see a quick description of what these meant when you hover your mouse over them.

Also the (i) icon links to a neo4j documentation page on Architecture with no documentation on the meaning of the cluster output.

Examples:

• Hammer means master node
• Tick vs status smiley face ... what's the difference? What other options are there?
• Background turns yellow when the node isn't ready
• Any more??

This may be documented somewhere but I haven't been able to find it - either way it would be nice to have some contextual help.

I'm on OS X 10.8.5, seeing the same behavior with both Chrome and Safari. My 2.0.0 instances still work fine, but I was trying to use the newer versions with my newer graphs and it isn't working. In Safari the labels don't even highlight on mouseover, but they do in Chrome. Using the community version.

Allow multiple post-connect commands in neo4j.conf

Pull request #152 enabled auto-executing a command when opening a new Browser. The command is specified in neo4j.conf using the browser.post_connect_cmd setting. It would be nice to be able to specify multiple commands that would become multiple frames.

My current use case is:

1. auto-applying a style (see #171)
2. auto-playing a guide describing our network

I also plan to make use of the URL parameter API to play a guide on load (like http://neo4j.het.io/browser/?cmd=play&arg=cypher, see #153). However, these features differ in scope, I just wanted to mention the URL parameter API, which may suit some needs.

For nodes and relationships, in Rows view, show Label and Relationship Type

Can the Rows view show Labels for nodes and Relationship Types for relationships?

This is applicable when the query returns nodes and relationships (as opposed to queries that return properties in a tabular format).

Add support to refresh a query result frame

It would be awesome if there was a way to refresh the result of a query instead of having to reload the query in the editor, run it, and possibly close the previous result frame.

Graph Style Sheet doesn't support attribute selectors styling

From @liudonghua123 on January 6, 2015 2:44

In Neo4j's browser graph visualization, graph style sheet only supports tag and tag.class selector, multiple chained class like "tag.class1.class2" is not support(see neo4j/neo4j#2112), I think attribute selectors is more important than multiple chained class.
For example, we can use the following to distinguish person of different gender.
node.Person[gender="male"] {
......
}
node.Person[gender="female"] {
......
}
And we could highlight the 1980s movies via
node.Movie[released^="198"] {
......
}

For more attribute selectors example, see http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_attribute_selectors.asp
