Summary

The Visual Cypher Builder is a prototype tool designed to help developers create Cypher queries with an easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface. The tool aims to bridge the gap between newcomers to Cypher and the query language's syntax, providing intuitive ways to construct queries through interaction. It offers four main features: a gallery of blocks, customization and smart suggestions, the wizard's guide, and template learning. These features are designed to make the fundamentals of Cypher queries accessible and intuitive, with future versions potentially expanding to include advanced pattern building, live validation, and integration with query runners. The tool is available for testing in Neo4j Labs, where users can provide feedback and suggestions.
