Spot - extensible facet browser

Build Status Code Climate Test Coverage js-semistandard-style

How to run it

As a fully stand-alone website, using crossfilter:

  1. download/install node.js
  2. install dependencies: npm install
  3. run it: npm start
  4. open http://localhost:9966 in a browser

PostgreSQL

Spot can also work with a postgresql database, but this requires a local service to run:

  1. download and install normally, steps 1 to 4 above
  2. manually enter the PostgreSQL username and password and database table name in spot-server.js. These are the variables conString and DatabaseTable.
  3. run the server: npm run server

You can get a bit more performance using the native PostgreSQL bindings (turned off by default to make travisCI easier). Just install the pg-native package npm install pg-native.
