Hi,
are there any plans to develop this libary, neo4j-graphql, in other languages like python?
If so, do you know the ETA?
Thanks in advance.
I think we're mostly focusing on Javascript for now...but for Python you could always try out the server side GraphQL plugin in the mean time. Not sure if you've seen that - GitHub - neo4j-graphql/neo4j-graphql: GraphQL bindings for Neo4j, generates and runs Cypher
Also cc'ing @lyonwj who runs all things GraphQL at Neo
We don't currently have plans to implement neo4j-graphql in Python. We're focusing on building out all the features we want in neo4j-graphql-js first and then will develop a plan for porting to other languages.
As Mark points out you could use the GraphQL database plugin to have the GraphQL ---> Cypher generation logic in Neo4j itself: Neo4j GraphQL Library - Neo4j GraphQL Library
Also, there was a good article showing how to use GraphQL with Neo4j and Python using Graphene (a Python GraphQL library) and the Py2neo OGM: Diving into GraphQL and Neo4j with Python | by Charles David | Elements blog | Medium
Are you abandoning development on the plugin? I haven't seen a commit in 5 months and the issue backlog grows slowly but steadily.
No, not abandoning. There's been some recent work to update for Neo4j v3.5, for example:
Currently the immediate plan in JVM-land for GraphQL is to extract some of the GraphQL --> Cypher query translation logic from the plugin into a separate library.
