Querying models

Query

The default behavior for executing a Gremlin query is to return graph elements fetched from the database as proper Mogwai model instances.

Fetching graph elements as models

User.gremlin("g.V("$type", "user")", function(err, elements) {
 // 'elements' is an array of instantiated model of type 'user'
});

Note that passing a callback as last parameter is equivalent to chaining `.query():

User.gremlin("g.V("$type", "user")").query(function(err, elements) {
  // 'elements' ...
});

Fetching elements as raw JavaScript objects

If you wish to retrieve results as raw elements (ie. not instantiated as models), use .execute() instead:

User.gremlin("g.V("$type", "user")").execute(function(err, results) {
  // 'results' is an array of raw graph elements
});

Note that this also works with custom Gremlin queries defined in .groovy files bound to your Schema: you're free to pass a callback as last parameter, or chain .query() or .execute().
