NAME

Neo4j::Bolt::NeoValue - Container to hold Bolt-encoded values

SYNOPSIS

  use Neo4j::Bolt::NeoValue;
  
  $neo_int = Neo4j::Bolt::NeoValue->of( 42 );
  $i = $neo_int->_as_perl;
  $neo_node = Neo4j::Bolt::NeoValue->of( 
    bless { id => 1,
      labels => ['thing','chose'],
      properties => {
        texture => 'crunchy',
        consistency => 'gooey',
      },
    }, 'Neo4j::Bolt::Node' );
  if ($neo_node->_neotype eq 'Node') {
    print "Yep, that's a node all right."
  }

  %node = %{ Neo4j::Bolt::NeoValue->is($neo_node)->as_simple };
  
  ($h,$j) = Neo4j::Bolt::NeoValue->are($neo_node, $neo_int);

DESCRIPTION

Neo4j::Bolt::NeoValue is an interface to convert Perl values to Bolt protocol byte structures via libneo4j-client. It's useful for testing the package, but you may find it useful in other ways.

METHODS

of($thing), new($thing)

Class method. Creates a NeoValue from a Perl scalar, arrayref, or hashref.

_as_perl()

Returns a Perl scalar, arrayref, or hashref representing the underlying Bolt data stored in the object.

_neotype()

Returns a string indicating the type of object that libneo4j-client thinks the Bolt data represents.

is($neovalue), are(@neovalues)

Class method. Syntactic sugar; runs "_as_perl()" on the arguments.
