Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
static final class	Relationship.Details	See RelationshipDetail.
static enum	Relationship.Direction	While the direction in the schema package is centered around the node, the direction here is the direction between two nodes.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
@NotNull Relationship.Details	getDetails()	The details containing the types, properties and cardinality.
Node	getLeft()
@NotNull Node	getRight()
@NotNull Relationship	inverse()	Creates a new relationship, inverting the direction but keeping the semantics intact ((a) --> (b) becomes (b) <-- (a)).
@NotNull Relationship	named(String newSymbolicName)	Creates a copy of this relationship with a new symbolic name.
@NotNull Relationship	named(SymbolicName newSymbolicName)	Creates a copy of this relationship with a new symbolic name.

Method Details

getLeft

Node getLeft()

Returns:

the left-hand side of this relationship

getDetails

@NotNull
@Contract(pure=true)
@NotNull Relationship.Details getDetails()

The details containing the types, properties and cardinality.

Returns:

A wrapper around the details of this relationship.

getRight

@NotNull
@Contract(pure=true)
@NotNull Node getRight()

Returns:

the right-hand side of this relationship

named

@NotNull
@Contract(pure=true)
@NotNull Relationship named(String newSymbolicName)

Creates a copy of this relationship with a new symbolic name.

Specified by:

named in interface RelationshipPattern

Parameters:

newSymbolicName - the new symbolic name.

Returns:

The new relationship.

named

@NotNull
@Contract(pure=true)
@NotNull Relationship named(SymbolicName newSymbolicName)

Creates a copy of this relationship with a new symbolic name.

Specified by:

named in interface RelationshipPattern

Parameters:

newSymbolicName - the new symbolic name.

Returns:

The new relationship.

inverse

@NotNull
@Contract(pure=true)
@NotNull Relationship inverse()

Creates a new relationship, inverting the direction but keeping the semantics intact ((a) --> (b) becomes (b) <-- (a)). A symbolic name will be removed from this relationship if any, as the it wouldn't be the same pattern to match against.

Returns:

the new relationship
