GraphQLastic

A simple React interface capable of paginating through large datasets quickly using GraphQL as an API for Elastic Querying

• The application is built using:
  • A vite/react/ts frontend
  • A Golang Chi server on the backend serving up the GraphQL API which connects to Elasticsearch
  • Elasticsearch for document storing and fetching
• When running you can go to http://localhost:5050 to test out the graphql api in the GraphQL playground

How to start

1. Run docker compose up from the root directory to start the web/server/elasticsearch container stack
2. Run python3 populate_index.py to populate the "sam_entities" index in ElasticSearch
   • You may need to install requirements first
     • pip3 install -r requirements.txt
   • It may run for a minute as its inserting 50,000 documents.
   • You might have to create a virtual env, to do so
     • python3 -m venv [name the env]
     • cd [name of the env]/bin
     • source activate
3. Thats It! Now go to the frontend on http://localhost:5173 and start searching to see performance
