It is indeed possible to pass an entire object! Below I have an object called Thing
defined as such:
public class Thing
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Value { get; set; }
public DateTimeOffset Date { get; set; }
public int AnInt { get; set; }
}
Then the following code creates a new Thing
and inserts it into the DB, then get's it back and updates it just by using one Set
command:
Thing thing = new Thing{AnInt = 12, Date = new DateTimeOffset(DateTime.Now), Value = "Foo", Id = 1};
gc.Cypher
.Create("(n:Test {thingParam})")
.WithParam("thingParam", thing)
.ExecuteWithoutResults();
var thingRes = gc.Cypher.Match("(n:Test)").Where((Thing n) => n.Id == 1).Return(n => n.As<Thing>()).Results.Single();
Console.WriteLine("Found: {0},{1},{2},{3}", thingRes.Id, thingRes.Value, thingRes.AnInt, thingRes.Date);
thingRes.AnInt += 100;
thingRes.Value = "Bar";
thingRes.Date = thingRes.Date.AddMonths(1);
gc.Cypher
.Match("(n:Test)")
.Where((Thing n) => n.Id == 1)
.Set("n = {thingParam}")
.WithParam("thingParam", thingRes)
.ExecuteWithoutResults();
var thingRes2 = gc.Cypher.Match("(n:Test)").Where((Thing n) => n.Id == 1).Return(n => n.As<Thing>()).Results.Single();
Console.WriteLine("Found: {0},{1},{2},{3}", thingRes2.Id, thingRes2.Value, thingRes2.AnInt, thingRes2.Date);
Which gives:
Found: 1,Foo,12,2014-03-27 15:37:49 +00:00
Found: 1,Bar,112,2014-04-27 15:37:49 +00:00
All properties nicely updated!
