What is the Cypher query on Expand action in Memgraph Lab?

I'm using Memgraph Lab. Once the visualization of graph is done I know that I can expand individual nodes.

What is the exact Cypher query that gets executed?

Solution

  • This is the exact Cypher query that gets executed on expand:

    MATCH (n)-[r]->(m) WHERE id(n) = $id OR id(m) = $id RETURN n, r, m;

    The property $id should be the internal Memgraph id of the node that is being expanded. If there are any other unique property, they can also be used, e.g. WHERE n.my_prop = $my_prop_value.
