Support derived query methods from method names

[kornelrabczak]

Problem

The library currently has limited or no support for Spring Data-style derived query methods. Users must write explicit Cypher queries using @Query annotations for even simple lookups, which reduces developer productivity and increases boilerplate.

Current Workaround

public interface PersonRepository extends NodeRepository<Person, String, Void, Person> {
    // Required: Explicit @Query for everything
    @Query("MATCH (n:Person) WHERE n.age > $age RETURN n")
    List<Person> findByAgeGreaterThan(@Param("age") int age);
    @Query("MATCH (n:Person {name: $name}) RETURN n")
    Optional<Person> findByName(@Param("name") String name);
    @Query("MATCH (n:Person) WHERE n.age >= $min AND n.age <= $max RETURN n")
    List<Person> findByAgeBetween(@Param("min") int min, @Param("max") int max);
    @Query("MATCH (n:Person) WHERE n.active = true RETURN n ORDER BY n.name")
    List<Person> findByActiveTrueOrderByByName();
}

Expected Behavior (Spring Data Style)

public interface PersonRepository extends NodeRepository<Person, String, Void, Person> {
    // Automatic query derivation
    List<Person> findByAgeGreaterThan(int age);
    Optional<Person> findByName(String name);
    List<Person> findByAgeBetween(int min, int max);
    List<Person> findByActiveTrueOrderByByName();
    List<Person> findByAgeIn(List<Integer> ages);
    List<Person> findByNameContaining(String substring);
    List<Person> findByNameIgnoreCase(String name);
    boolean existsByAge(Integer age);
    long countByActiveTrue();
    void deleteByAgeLessThan(int age);
}

Proposed Solution

Implement a query derivation mechanism that parses method names and generates Cypher queries automatically.
