Getting Started with grafeoR

grafeoR exposes the embedded Grafeo graph database through an idiomatic R API. The package opens either an in-memory database for ad hoc work or a persistent database on disk, while query execution is handled by Grafeo’s Rust engine.

Open a database

library(grafeoR)

db <- grafeo_db()

Insert data

db$execute("INSERT (:Person {name: 'Alix', age: 30})")
db$execute("INSERT (:Person {name: 'Gus', age: 41})")

Query rows back into R

people <- db$query(
  "MATCH (p:Person) WHERE p.name = $name RETURN p.name, p.age",
  params = list(name = "Alix")
)
people

Use transactions

tx <- db$begin()
tx$execute("INSERT (:Person {name: 'Transaction Demo'})")
tx$commit()

Inspect metadata

db$info()
grafeo_version()

Close the database

db$close()
