Sci-ModoM

The prototype running at sci-modom is built on the web front-end for the doRiNA database.

Migration

• Phased out/not actively maintained front-end technologies (KnockoutJS).
• API not tailored to our aims.
• Operations performed on files (no database).
• Missing functionalities (authentication, etc.).

Proposed architecture: single-page application (SPA) to separate Flask and VueJS.

Back-end (server)

• Python3 and Flask

• MySQL database

• Redis cache

• Model:

  • API
  • Services (operate on data objects)
  • Data Objects (stateful models, CRUD)
  • Data Store Drivers (intermediary interface between application and datastore)

Front-end (client)

• VueJS

• vue-router

• pinia (state management)

• Firebase (authentication)

• Model:

  • SPA

Installation

During migration, scimodom remains locally installable:

git clone https://github.com/dieterich-lab/scimodom
cd scimodom
pip install [-e] .

Also make sure to have a Redis server running.

Running the Web UI

To run the development / test server:

redis-server & rqworker --path path/to/scimodom/scimodom/server/src/scimodom &
python app.py &
