Path Queries¶

-- Any number of hops
MATCH (a:Person)-[:KNOWS*]->(b:Person)
RETURN a.name, b.name

-- Exactly 2 hops
MATCH (a:Person)-[:KNOWS*2]->(b:Person)
RETURN a.name, b.name

-- 1 to 3 hops
MATCH (a:Person)-[:KNOWS*1..3]->(b:Person)
RETURN a.name, b.name

-- Up to 5 hops
MATCH (a:Person)-[:KNOWS*..5]->(b:Person)
RETURN a.name, b.name

-- At least 2 hops
MATCH (a:Person)-[:KNOWS*2..]->(b:Person)
RETURN a.name, b.name

-- Capture the path
MATCH path = (a:Person)-[:KNOWS*]->(b:Person)
WHERE a.name = 'Alice' AND b.name = 'Dave'
RETURN path

-- Path length
MATCH path = (a:Person)-[:KNOWS*]->(b:Person)
WHERE a.name = 'Alice'
RETURN b.name, length(path) AS distance
ORDER BY distance

-- Find shortest path
MATCH path = shortestPath((a:Person)-[:KNOWS*]-(b:Person))
WHERE a.name = 'Alice' AND b.name = 'Dave'
RETURN path, length(path)

-- All shortest paths
MATCH path = allShortestPaths((a:Person)-[:KNOWS*]-(b:Person))
WHERE a.name = 'Alice' AND b.name = 'Dave'
RETURN path

-- Filter paths by node properties
MATCH path = (a:Person)-[:KNOWS*]->(b:Person)
WHERE a.name = 'Alice'
  AND all(n IN nodes(path) WHERE n.active = true)
RETURN path

-- Filter by relationship properties
MATCH path = (a:Person)-[:KNOWS*]->(b:Person)
WHERE a.name = 'Alice'
  AND all(r IN relationships(path) WHERE r.strength > 0.5)
RETURN path
