The Cypher Query Language - Best Practices

Ivan Despot's blog post offers a comprehensive guide on best practices for writing Cypher queries, emphasizing the importance of consistent naming conventions and formatting to enhance readability and collaboration. Key suggestions include using CamelCase for node labels, upper-case with underscores for relationship types, and camelCase for properties, variables, parameters, aliases, and functions. The guide advises capitalizing clauses and keywords, maintaining proper indentation and spacing, and using single quotes when fewer escaped characters are needed. It also recommends structuring queries with left-to-right relationships and placing nodes with assigned variables or starting points before anonymous elements. The blog emphasizes that adhering to these guidelines facilitates easier understanding and contribution to projects while also providing resources for further learning, such as a ten-day Cypher email course and community support on Discord.
