Spike-Front

Front end repository for the SpikeForest pipeline. This site presents benchmarking of spike sorting algorithms.

Getting started

To install software and packages, you will need to first run in both the / and /client folder:

`yarn install`

To start both the client and backend for local development, you can run:

`yarn dev`

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

Injesting data into the database

Step 1: Delete the data (clear the database)

admin/bin/delete-data.js [database_url] --delete
or
admin/bin/delete-data.js --database-from-env --delete

This command clears the database entirely and is the essential first step of the data injest process.

If --database-from-env is specified, the DATABASE environment variable (from .env) will be used for the database url.

If --database-from-env-prod is specified, the DATABASE_PROD environment variable (from .env) will be used for the database url.

Step 2: Format and load data into database

admin/bin/format-and-load-data.js [data_directory] [database_url]
or
admin/bin/format-and-load-data.js [data_directory] --database-from-env

Assigns ids, formats, and injests raw data from the spikeforest pipeline into the website for visualization. Raw data files for injest should be stored in [data_directory] with capitalized titles. After injest is complete, this script automatically deletes temp files generated in the process.
