🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Suggest additional tests and documentation updates.

While the change correctly adds Unix socket support to the from_url method, consider the following suggestions to ensure comprehensive implementation:

  1. Add unit tests specifically for Unix socket connections using the from_url method.
  2. Update the class and method docstrings to mention Unix socket support.
  3. Consider adding an example of using a Unix socket connection in the class docstring.

Here's a suggested update for the class docstring:

class FalkorDB:
    """
    FalkorDB Class for interacting with a FalkorDB server.

    Supports both TCP and Unix socket connections.

    Usage examples::
        from falkordb import FalkorDB
        # Connect to the database using TCP and select the 'social' graph
        db = FalkorDB()
        graph = db.select_graph("social")

        # Connect using a Unix socket
        db_unix = FalkorDB.from_url("unix:///path/to/redis.sock")
        graph_unix = db_unix.select_graph("social")

        # Get a single 'Person' node from the graph and print its name
        result = graph.query("MATCH (n:Person) RETURN n LIMIT 1").result_set
        person = result[0][0]
        print(person.properties['name'])
    """

Also, consider adding a unit test for Unix socket connections:

def test_from_url_unix_socket():
    url = "unix:///path/to/redis.sock"
    db = FalkorDB.from_url(url)
    assert db.connection.connection_pool.connection_kwargs['unix_socket_path'] == "/path/to/redis.sock"
    assert db.connection.connection_pool.connection_kwargs['host'] is None
    assert db.connection.connection_pool.connection_kwargs['port'] is None

Consider adding test coverage for unix socket connections. The existing tests in tests/test_db.py::test_connect_via_url only cover TCP connections (falkor:// scheme). Adding a test case for unix:// URLs would help ensure this feature works correctly and prevent regressions.
