- This capstone project was built over a two week sprint at the end of our full stack bootcamp.
- The bootcamp used agile methodologies throughout. At the beginning of the project we conducted sprint planning. We conducted daily stand-ups and a review at the end. I acted as the project manager throughout the capstone.
Network mapper was designed to bring together network analysis tools and mapping capabilities.
-
A postgresql database holds a network of people and organizations. It draws connections between these people based on events and interactions.
-
A React SPA uses a searchable leaflet map as a landing page displaying the entities in the database
-
When selected a recursive javascript function determines every entity with a relationship with the selected entity, and then every entity with a relationship with the next entity, until a table is built of the entire network.
-
The network is sent to a python microservice and analyzed using networkx. Network analysis metrics are added to the entities.
-
The weighted network is returned to the SPA where it is visualized using cytoscape.javascript
- Clone the repository
-
create a .env file with the value
DB_CONNECTION_STRING = postgresql://myusername:mypassword@localhost:5432/mydatabaseand the values changed to your own unique values inside of the server directory. -
bring up a docker container running postgresql with your values
docker run --name mypostgres -e POSTGRES_DB=mydatabase -e POSTGRES_USER=myusername -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mypassword -p 5432:5432 -d postgres -
start the server
Navigate to the server directory
npm i
npm start
Navigate to the client directory
npm i
npm start
Navigate to the python_services directory
pip install -r requirements.txt
python server.py
The client can now be reached at localhost:3000
