Retrieve all properties associated with node after query

[Michael Shoener <ms...@softwareapps.net>]

I have created a custom mixin which has a property called "hfs:description",
but also allows for residual properties too.

How can I query the repository and return all properties, including custom
defined ones, associated with the returned record?

Do I have to loop through all of the results and manually retrieve all of
the properties for each node?

Any help would be appreciated.

The QueryResult [1] returns either a NodeIterator (ie. it returns
nodes) or a RowIterator, which is slightly different in that is more
"focused" on returning columns = properties when specifying those in a
SQL query, but in the end a row is a node as well.

So to get the properties you want, you have to iterate over the nodes
and get them with the normal Node API.
