Neo4j::Rails Scaffolds & Generators

Rails Neo4j Project Template

Make sure you are running JRuby (rvm install jruby).
Creating an Neo4j application from scratch:

gem install rails
rails new myapp -m http://andreasronge.github.com/neo4j/rails.rb -O
rails generate scaffold User name:string email:string
rails s

open a webbrowser: http://localhost:3000/users

The database will be stored in the db/neo4j-development folder.
To start with a fresh new database, simply delete that folder.

The -O flag means: skip Active Record.

Neo4j.rb Scaffolds

For available commands for neo4j models:
