Hierarchy management with Neo4j and Symfony

HierarchyBundle

Hierarchy Management with Neo4j and Symfony, _(*1)

This Symfony bundle manages a company hierarchy retrieving and stroring information to a Neo4j database. The hierarchy is based on groups: PHP group is part of Software Developement group, which is part of IT, etc. The users are members of these groups having differend kind of roles (manager, employee etc)., _(*2)

HierarchyBundle comes with a front where regular user can just browse data and an Admin area from where you can create, edit, delete info., _(*3)

I got the idea for this bundle from the Neo4j documentation: http://neo4j.com/docs/stable/examples-user-roles-in-graphs.html HierarchyBundle is using the Neo4jPHP library https://github.com/jadell/neo4jphp, _(*4)

        def_rel_type_group_to_group: 'PART_OF'
        def_rel_type_user_to_group: 'MEMBER_OF'
