Creating a node with dynamic labels using Cypher

Labels can be referenced dynamically in Cypher without using APOC.

Cypher syntax for creating a label dynamically

CREATE (n:$(label))

The dynamically calculated label must evaluate to a STRING or LIST<STRING>. For more information, see the Cypher Manual → CREATE nodes and relationships using dynamic node labels and relationship types.

The example below demonstrates how to use Cypher and APOC to create a node by passing in its labels and properties dynamically using a map:

The following creates labels and properties parameters:

:param labels =>  (["Human", "MovieStar"]);
:param properties => ({name: "Tom Cruise", placeOfBirth: "Syracuse, New York, United States"});

apoc.create.node

CALL apoc.create.node($labels, $properties);

CREATE clause

CREATE (node:$($labels) $properties)
RETURN node;

Results
node
(:Human:MovieStar {name: "Tom Cruise", placeOfBirth: "Syracuse, New York, United States"})
