helix-dashboard

Overview

This is a dashboard for helixdb. It allows you to view and interact with your helixdb database.

Query Format

The dashboard works best when your queries follow this naming convention:

• Creating or linking nodes and edges should start with "create" or "link" (e.g., "createPatient" or "linkPatientToDoctor")
• Searching or getting nodes and edges should start with "get" (e.g., "getPatient" or "getDoctor")
• Updating nodes and edges should start with "update" (e.g., "updatePatient" or "updateDoctor")
• Deleting nodes and edges should start with "delete" (e.g., "deletePatient" or "deleteDoctor")

Setup

Backend:

1. Navigate to the backend directory and ensure your HelixDB is running either locally or on a cloud server
2. You then have 3 options:
   • Local introspect (default): Run cargo run or cargo run -- local-introspect
   • Local file: Read queries and schema from your local file, add your helixdb-cfg to the backend folder and run cargo run -- local-file
   • Cloud mode: Run cargo run -- cloud http://your-helix-db-url:6969

• For local introspect, you can specify a custom port for your HelixDB instance: cargo run -- --port 8888 or cargo run -- -p 8888
• For local file: cargo run -- local-file --port 8888

Frontend:

• cd into the frontend directory and run npm install to install the dependencies
• Run npm run dev to start the frontend
• The frontend will be available at http://localhost:3000
