apoc.refactor.cloneNodes

Details
Syntax	`apoc.refactor.cloneNodes(nodes [, withRelationships, skipProperties ]) :: (input, output, error)`
Description	Clones the given `NODE` values with their labels and properties. It is possible to skip any `NODE` properties using skipProperties (note: this only skips properties on `NODE` values and not their `RELATIONSHIP` values).
Input arguments	Name	Type	Description
	`nodes`	`LIST<NODE>`	The nodes to be cloned.
	`withRelationships`	`BOOLEAN`	Whether or not the connected relationships should also be cloned. The default is: `false`.
	`skipProperties`	`LIST<STRING>`	Whether or not to skip the node properties when cloning. The default is: `[]`.
Return arguments	Name	Type	Description
	`input`	`INTEGER`	The internal id of the original entity.
	`output`	`NODE`	The copied entity.
	`error`	`STRING`	Any error that occurred during the copy process.

Usage Examples

The examples in this section are based on the following sample graph:

CREATE (mark:Person {name: "Mark", city: "London"})
CREATE (jennifer:Person {name: "Jennifer", city: "St Louis"});

The following creates copies of all Person nodes:

MATCH (p:Person)
WITH collect(p) AS people
CALL apoc.refactor.cloneNodes(people)
YIELD input, output
RETURN input, output;

Results
input	output
4	(:Person {name: "Mark", city: "London"})
5	(:Person {name: "Jennifer", city: "St Louis"})

We can list all the Person nodes by running the following query:

MATCH (p:Person)
RETURN p;

Results
p
(:Person {name: "Mark", city: "London"})
(:Person {name: "Jennifer", city: "St Louis"})
(:Person {name: "Mark", city: "London"})
(:Person {name: "Jennifer", city: "St Louis"})
