Vulcan Video Indexer

Angular 9 application to visualize Vulcan metadata output. Interacts with API from nodejs-express-api.

This project was generated with Angular CLI version 9.1.2.

Setting up environment for local development and running

Some initial set up is needed to run these applications. First, we need to install node.

Install Node on Mac

Open your Terminal and enter the following to update Homebrew to see the latest versions:

brew update

Then, we install node itself:

brew install node

Install Node on Windows

Open your Browser and navigate to https://nodejs.org/en/download/ Download the executable for windows and run it

Prepare Repo

Clone repo
git clone https://github.com/jengmicah/angular-api-tool.git

Navigate to your clone of the repo
cd vulcan-indexer-ui

Update to latest code with
git pull

Install Node Modules for the project

Run npm install

If there is an issue with native packages:

Run npm install -g node-gyp

Run npm install --global --production windows-build-tools (if windows OS)

Ensure API is running

Follow instructions at NodeJS Express API to ensure that the database and API are running on either local or remote servers.

In /src/app/data.service.ts, you'll see that the REST API server is pointing to http://localhost:5000/. You can change this to whatever you'd like.

This application makes use of the following endpoints:

• /api/ingestmetadata
• /api/querymetadata/video
• /api/querymetadata/video/[jobID]
• /api/querymetadata/video?classnum=[class]
• /api/querymetadata/video?module_name=[module]
• /api/querymetadata/video?model_name=[model]

Start Development server

Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/.

The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.
