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

CREATE (f:Foo)-[rel:FOOBAR]->(b:Bar);

The following changes the relationship type from FOOBAR to NEW-TYPE:

MATCH (f:Foo)-[rel:FOOBAR]->(b:Bar)
CALL apoc.refactor.setType(rel, 'NEW-TYPE')
YIELD input, output
RETURN input, output;

If we execute this query, it will result in the following output:

Table 1. Results
input	output
30	[:`NEW-TYPE`]

And the graph now looks like this:
