This repo contains a new web UI (still using flask) and a new backend -- Neo4j. The previous version that is currently used for https://allofphysics.com/ is https://github.com/allofphysicsgraph/ui_v7_website_flask_json

Status

The website and back-end work locally.

Quickstart

To start the containers, run

docker kill $(docker ps -q); make up

and then, in a web browser, go to http://localhost:5000

As a developer repeatedly restarting the containers, I use

make black_out; docker ps | grep property | cut -d' ' -f1 | xargs docker kill; date; make up

Because software is in Docker containers (for reproducibility), the versions of the Docker software you're using matter. The software in this repo has been tested with

• docker-compose 1.29.2
• Compose file format 3.6
• Docker Engine release 20.10.11 See https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-versioning/ for compatibility of versions.

Project contents

Two containers: Neo4j (port 7474) and a flask web server (port 5000)

Neo4j for newbies

A graph has "nodes" and "edges". A property graph extends that data structure to allow "properties" for both the nodes and the edges.

Nodes and edges in Neo4j are described using the following jargon:

:label {key1:'value1', key2:'value2'}

where the key-value pairs are properties. The schema is effectively the labels and keys for edges and nodes.

"Node labels, relationship types, and properties (the key part) are case sensitive." (citation)[https://neo4j.com/docs/getting-started/current/appendix/graphdb-concepts/]
