Development

git clone https://github.com/Tracer1337/shitty-search.git
cd shitty-search
yarn

This project uses yarn, primarily for the monorepo design. Some packages from /packages depend on other packages stored there and yarn will link them through the node_modules folder. Keep in mind that in order to use the code from a package in another package, it has to be compiled and imported through the /dist folder. This also means that in development you will often use yarn build to use code changes in another package.

Packages

Client

The website which queries and displays search results from a given endpoint. The endpoint can be defined at build-time through the API_ENDPOINT environment variable.

Crawler

Crawls the internet and stores the data it found in the database.

Pagerank

Implementation of the pagerank algorithm as desribed on Wikipedia. The Runner class adapts the pagerank algorithm to the database, but this package can be used in any situation.

Search

Finds and ranks the results of a given query, where the query is a sequence of keywords. This package contains the scoring mechanism.

Server

The only thing this one really does is exposing a single API endpoint which runs the search package so the client can query it.

Shared

Contains the functionality which all packages need, like the database stuff and some utilities.
