**GQLAlchemy** is a fully open-source Python library and **Object Graph Mapper** (OGM) - a link between graph database objects and Python objects.

An Object Graph Mapper or OGM provides a developer-friendly workflow that allows for writing object-oriented notation to communicate with graph databases. Instead of writing Cypher queries, you will be able to write object-oriented code, which the OGM will automatically translate into Cypher queries.

## Installation

GQLAlchemy is built on top of Memgraph's low-level Python client `pymgclient`
([PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/pymgclient/) /
[Documentation](https://memgraph.github.io/pymgclient/) /
[GitHub](https://github.com/memgraph/pymgclient)). 

To install GQLAlchemy, you first need to install `pymgclient` [build prerequisites](https://memgraph.github.io/pymgclient/introduction.html#build-prerequisites).

After you have installed the prerequisites, run the following command:

`pip install gqlalchemy`

With the above command, you get the basic GQLAlchemy capabilities. To add additional import/export capabilities, install GQLAlchemy with one of the following commands:

- `pip install gqlalchemy[arrow]` # Support for the CSV, Parquet, ORC and IPC/Feather/Arrow formats
- `pip install gqlalchemy[dgl]` # DGL support (includes PyTorch)

- `pip install gqlalchemy[all]` # All of the above

If you intend to use GQLAlchemy with PyTorch Geometric support, that library must be installed manually:

```bash
pip install gqlalchemy[torch_pyg] # prerequisite
pip install torch-scatter torch-sparse torch-cluster torch-spline-conv torch-geometric -f https://data.pyg.org/whl/torch-1.13.0+cpu.html"
```

If you are using [Conda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/) for Python environment management, you can install GQLAlchemy through pip.

## Build & Test

The project uses [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) to build the library. Clone or download the [GQLAlchemy source code](https://github.com/memgraph/gqlalchemy) locally and run the following command to build it from source with Poetry:

```bash
poetry install --all-extras
```

The ``poetry install --all-extras`` command installs GQLAlchemy with all extras
(optional dependencies). Alternatively, you can use the ``-E`` option to define
what extras to install:

```bash
poetry install # No extras

poetry install -E arrow # Support for the CSV, Parquet, ORC and IPC/Feather/Arrow formats
poetry install -E dgl # DGL support (also includes torch)
```

To run the tests, make sure you have an [active Memgraph instance](/memgraph), and execute one of the following commands:

```bash
poetry run pytest . -k "not slow" # If all extras installed

poetry run pytest . -k "not slow and not extras" # Otherwise
```

If you’ve installed only certain extras, it’s also possible to run their associated tests:

```bash
poetry run pytest . -k "arrow"
poetry run pytest . -k "dgl"
```

## GQLAlchemy capabilities

<details>
<summary>🗺️ Object graph mapper</summary>
<br>

Below you can see an example of how to create `User` and `Language` node classes, and a relationship class of type `SPEAKS`. Along with that, you can see how to create a new node and relationship and how to save them in the database. After that, you can load those nodes and relationship from the database.
<br>
<br>

```python
from gqlalchemy import Memgraph, Node, Relationship, Field
from typing import Optional

db = Memgraph()

class User(Node, index=True, db=db):
    id: str = Field(index=True, exist=True, unique=True, db=db)

class Language(Node):
    name: str = Field(unique=True, db=db)

class Speaks(Relationship, type="SPEAKS"):
    pass

user = User(id="3", username="John").save(db)
language = Language(name="en").save(db)
speaks_rel = Speaks(
    _start_node_id = user._id,
    _end_node_id = language._id
).save(db)

loaded_user = User(id="3").load(db=db)
print(loaded_user)
loaded_speaks = Speaks(
        _start_node_id=user._id,
        _end_node_id=language._id
    ).load(db)
print(loaded_speaks)
```
</details>

<details>
<summary>🔨 Query builder</summary>
<br>
When building a Cypher query, you can use a set of methods that are wrappers around Cypher clauses. 
<br>
<br>

```python
from gqlalchemy import create, match
from gqlalchemy.query_builder import Operator

query_create = create()
        .node(labels="Person", name="Leslie")
        .to(relationship_type="FRIENDS_WITH")
        .node(labels="Person", name="Ron")
        .execute()

query_match = match()
        .node(labels="Person", variable="p1")
        .to()
        .node(labels="Person", variable="p2")
        .where(item="p1.name", operator=Operator.EQUAL, literal="Leslie")
        .return_(results=["p1", ("p2", "second")])
        .execute()
```
</details>

<details>
<summary>🚰 Manage streams</summary>
<br>

You can create and start Kafka or Pulsar stream using GQLAlchemy. 
<br>

**Kafka stream** 
```python
from gqlalchemy import MemgraphKafkaStream

stream = MemgraphKafkaStream(name="ratings_stream", topics=["ratings"], transform="movielens.rating", bootstrap_servers="localhost:9093")
db.create_stream(stream)
db.start_stream(stream)
```


**Pulsar stream**
```python
from gqlalchemy import MemgraphPulsarStream

stream = MemgraphPulsarStream(name="ratings_stream", topics=["ratings"], transform="movielens.rating", service_url="localhost:6650")
db.create_stream(stream)
db.start_stream(stream)
```

</details>

<details>
<summary>🗄️ Import table data from different sources</summary>
<br>

**Import table data to a graph database**

You can translate table data from a file to graph data and import it to Memgraph. Currently, we support reading of CSV, Parquet, ORC and IPC/Feather/Arrow file formats via the PyArrow package.

Read all about it in [table to graph importer how-to guide](https://memgraph.com/docs/gqlalchemy/how-to-guides/table-to-graph-importer).

**Make a custom file system importer**

If you want to read from a file system not currently supported by GQLAlchemy, or use a file type currently not readable, you can implement your own by extending abstract classes `FileSystemHandler` and `DataLoader`, respectively.

Read all about it in [custom file system importer how-to guide](https://memgraph.com/docs/gqlalchemy/how-to-guides/custom-file-system-importer).

</details>

<details>
<summary>⚙️ Manage Memgraph instances</summary>
<br>

You can start, stop, connect to and monitor Memgraph instances with GQLAlchemy.

**Manage Memgraph Docker instance**

```python
from gqlalchemy.instance_runner import (
    DockerImage,
    MemgraphInstanceDocker
)

memgraph_instance = MemgraphInstanceDocker(
    docker_image=DockerImage.MEMGRAPH, docker_image_tag="latest", host="0.0.0.0", port=7687
)
memgraph = memgraph_instance.start_and_connect(restart=False)

memgraph.execute_and_fetch("RETURN 'Memgraph is running' AS result"))[0]["result"]
```

**Manage Memgraph binary instance**

```python
from gqlalchemy.instance_runner import MemgraphInstanceBinary

memgraph_instance = MemgraphInstanceBinary(
    host="0.0.0.0", port=7698, binary_path="/usr/lib/memgraph/memgraph", user="memgraph"
)
memgraph = memgraph_instance.start_and_connect(restart=False)

memgraph.execute_and_fetch("RETURN 'Memgraph is running' AS result"))[0]["result"]
```
</details>

<details>
<summary>🔫 Manage database triggers</summary>
<br>

Because Memgraph supports database triggers on `CREATE`, `UPDATE` and `DELETE` operations, GQLAlchemy also implements a simple interface for maintaining these triggers.

```python
from gqlalchemy import Memgraph, MemgraphTrigger
from gqlalchemy.models import (
    TriggerEventType,
    TriggerEventObject,
    TriggerExecutionPhase,
)

db = Memgraph()

trigger = MemgraphTrigger(
    name="ratings_trigger",
    event_type=TriggerEventType.CREATE,
    event_object=TriggerEventObject.NODE,
    execution_phase=TriggerExecutionPhase.AFTER,
    statement="UNWIND createdVertices AS node SET node.created_at = LocalDateTime()",
)

db.create_trigger(trigger)
triggers = db.get_triggers()
print(triggers)
```
</details>

<details>
<summary>💽 On-disk storage</summary>
<br>

Since Memgraph is an in-memory graph database, the GQLAlchemy library provides an on-disk storage solution for large properties not used in graph algorithms. This is useful when nodes or relationships have metadata that doesn’t need to be used in any of the graph algorithms that need to be carried out in Memgraph, but can be fetched after. Learn all about it in the [on-disk storage how-to guide](https://memgraph.com/docs/gqlalchemy/how-to-guides/on-disk-storage).
</details>
