Neo4j Movies Application: Quick Start

CI
image of application

This example application demonstrates how easy it is to get started with Neo4j in JavaScript.

It is a very simple web application that uses our Movie graph dataset to provide a search with listing, a detail view and a graph visualization.

The Stack

These are the components of our Web Application:

  • Application Type: JavaScript-Web Application

  • Neo4j Database Connector: Neo4j JavaScript Driver for Cypher Docs

  • Database: Neo4j-Server (4.x) with multi-database

  • Frontend: jquery, bootstrap, d3.js

Provision a database quickly with Neo4j Sandbox or Neo4j Aura.

Quickstart

Setup

$ npm install

Run locally

  • Start Neo4j (Download & Install) locally and open the Neo4j Browser.

  • Install the Movies dataset with :play movies, click the statement, and hit the triangular "Run" button.

  • Clone this project from GitHub

  • Run the App inside the Webpack Dev Server:

# run in development mode (refreshes the app on source code changes)
$ npm start

# builds the release version with client assets in "build" directory
$ npm run build

When running in "dev" mode, navigate to http://localhost:8080/webpack-dev-server/ to see the application.

After executing the npm run build command, open local file "build/index.html" in your browser.
