Getting Started with an existing rails project

This is a work in progress, so please contact me if you have any questions or problems.

1. Install neo4j (more about that on http://neo4j.org/)

2. Add architect4r to your rails project

   gem 'architect4r'

3. Create an architect4r config

   Create a config/architect4r.yml file and add your configuration like this:

   development:
     host: localhost
     port: 7477
     log_level: DEBUG
   
   production:
     host: localhost
     port: 7474
     log_level: WARNING

4. Create your first Node

   class Person < Architect4r::Model::Node
     property :name, :cast_to => String
     property :birthday, :cast_to => Date
   end

5. Start your console and check if it is working

   Person.create(:name => 'Max Mustermann', :birthday => Date.today)

   Check your neo4j webadmin (usually: http://localhost:7474) and see if your data is there.
