name-matcher

Try to find a name for your kid using a Tinder like interface where both parents can rate names.

Development setup

• Host a neo4j 4.2 enterprise database. You can download neo4j in their download center or use a hosted cloud instance.
• Edit api/.env so that username, password and URL matches your running instance. The DATABASE_IMPORT_PATH variable needs to point to the import folder of your neo4j instance. This does not work with non-local neo4j instances. The path can either be absolute of relative from the api folder.
• Run the backend.
  • cd api
  • nvm use
  • npm install
  • npm start
• Run the frontend.
  • cd client
  • nvm use
  • npm install
  • npm start
• The website can now be reached: http://localhost:3000/

For convenience, you can also run ./run-dev.sh. This requires that a neo4j database can be found in the neo4j folder.

Tests

• Run server integration test with:
  • Start neo4j, same as above.
  • cd api
  • npm test

Importing names

You can add names one-by-one yourself or import them from a CSV file, both from within the website. For convenience, a list with more than 30,000 names can be found in the root directory: names.csv.
