NAME

REST::Neo4p::Constraint::Relationship - Neo4j Relationship Constraints

SYNOPSIS

# use REST::Neo4p::Constrain, it's nicer

$rc = REST::Neo4p::Constraint::Relationship->new(
  'allowed_contains_relns' => 
    { _condition => 'only',
      _relationship_type => 'contains',
      _priority => 0,
      _descriptors  => [ {'module' => 'method'},
                         {'module' => 'variable'},
                         {'method' => 'variable'} ] }
  );

DESCRIPTION

REST::Neo4p::Constraint::Relationship is a class that represents constraints on the type and direction of relationships between nodes that satisfy given sets of property constraints.

Constraint hash specification:

{ 
  _condition => <'only'|'none'>,
  _relationship_type => <relationship_typename>,
  _priority => <integer priority>,
  _descriptors => [{ property_constraint_tag => 
                     property_constraint_tag },...] }
}

METHODS

new()
$rc = $REST::Neo4p::Constraint::Relationship->new(
       $tag => $constraint_hash
     );
add_constraint()
$rc->add_constraint( { 'star' => 'planet' });
remove_constraint()
$rc->remove_constraint( { 'developer' => 'parole_officer' } );
tag()

Returns the constraint tag.

type()

Returns the constraint type ('relationship').

rtype()

The relationship type to which this constraint applies.

constraints()

Returns the internal constraint spec hashref.

priority()
set_priority()

Constraints with higher priority will be checked before constraints with lower priority by validate_relationship().

condition()
set_condition()
$r->set_condition('only');

Get/set 'only' or 'none' for a given relationship constraint. See REST::Neo4p::Constrain.

validate()
$c->validate( $relationship_object );
$c->validate( $node_object1 => $node_object2, 
                        $reln_type );
$c->validate( { name => 'Steve', instrument => 'banjo' } =>
              { name => 'Marcia', instrument => 'blunt' },
                'avoids' );

Returns true if the item meets the constraint, false if not.
