ActiveGraph (formerly Neo4j.rb) is an Active Model-compliant object-graph mapper (OGM) for the Neo4j graph database in Ruby. It provides ActiveRecord-style conventions including properties, validations, callbacks, associations, and a chainable query builder for graph queries.

Use cases

• use neo4j graph database from ruby with activerecord-like models
• build cypher queries with a chainable query builder
• define node and relationship models with validations and callbacks
• integrate neo4j into a rails application
• model graph relationships as first-class entities in ruby
• run migrations and manage constraints for a neo4j database

When to choose

• you are a ruby or rails developer working with neo4j
• you want an ActiveRecord-familiar API over a graph database
• you need graph traversals expressed as chainable, composable queries
• you want models for both nodes and relationships

When to avoid

• you use a relational or document database instead of neo4j
• you need a low-level driver only (use neo4j-ruby-driver directly)
• your project is not on the ruby/jvm ecosystem
• you need an ORM for SQL databases
