neo4j return map of properties ID-CodePudding

I want to get back a map (dictionary) of the properties of my nodes in cypher along with the ID of the nodes. I have the following code that does not work:

match (n:person) 
with n limit 5
with  properties(n) oldID:ID(n) as info
return info

This does not create a single dictionary with the properties and the ID. I have tried different formats but nothing seems to work. What am I doing wrong here?

CodePudding user response：

You could just do

match (n:person) 
with n limit 5
with  {props:properties(n), oldID:ID(n)} as info
return info

CodePudding user response：

You can return the properties along with the id like this :

MATCH (n:Person)
RETURN n{.*, oldID: id(n)} AS info
LIMIT 5

Result :

╒═══════════════════════════════════════════════════╕
│"info"                                             │
