Neo4j
=====

Setup[​](#setup "Direct link to Setup")
---------------------------------------

Install the dependencies needed for Neo4j:

tip

See [this section for general instructions on installing integration packages](/v0.1/docs/get_started/installation/#installing-integration-packages).

*   npm
*   Yarn
*   pnpm

    npm install @langchain/openai neo4j-driver @langchain/community

    yarn add @langchain/openai neo4j-driver @langchain/community

    pnpm add @langchain/openai neo4j-driver @langchain/community

Usage[​](#usage "Direct link to Usage")
---------------------------------------

This walkthrough uses Neo4j to demonstrate a graph database integration.

### Instantiate a graph and retrieve information the the graph by generating Cypher query language statements using GraphCypherQAChain.[​](#instantiate-a-graph-and-retrieve-information-the-the-graph-by-generating-cypher-query-language-statements-using-graphcypherqachain "Direct link to Instantiate a graph and retrieve information the the graph by generating Cypher query language statements using GraphCypherQAChain.")

    import { Neo4jGraph } from "@langchain/community/graphs/neo4j_graph";import { OpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";import { GraphCypherQAChain } from "langchain/chains/graph_qa/cypher";/** * This example uses Neo4j database, which is native graph database. * To set it up follow the instructions on https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/installation/. */const url = "bolt://localhost:7687";const username = "neo4j";const password = "pleaseletmein";const graph = await Neo4jGraph.initialize({ url, username, password });const model = new OpenAI({ temperature: 0 });// Populate the database with two nodes and a relationshipawait graph.query(  "CREATE (a:Actor {name:'Bruce Willis'})" +    "-[:ACTED_IN]->(:Movie {title: 'Pulp Fiction'})");// Refresh schemaawait graph.refreshSchema();const chain = GraphCypherQAChain.fromLLM({  llm: model,  graph,});const res = await chain.run("Who played in Pulp Fiction?");console.log(res);// Bruce Willis played in Pulp Fiction.

Disclaimer ⚠️
=============

_Security note_: Make sure that the database connection uses credentials that are narrowly-scoped to only include necessary permissions. Failure to do so may result in data corruption or loss, since the calling code may attempt commands that would result in deletion, mutation of data if appropriately prompted or reading sensitive data if such data is present in the database. The best way to guard against such negative outcomes is to (as appropriate) limit the permissions granted to the credentials used with this tool. For example, creating read only users for the database is a good way to ensure that the calling code cannot mutate or delete data. See the [security page](/v0.1/docs/security/) for more information.
