Have an article that you want to get entity data(ie. dates, people, organization, email etc.) from without manually reading line by line?

• Entity Analysis takes url or word(s) and instantly extracts entities.

• Stores searches in a previous search column.

• Click any of the previous searches to review previous entities rendered.

• Search for articles matching an entity you are looking for(will be searched from previously searched articles).

• State is saved in local storage so simply return to view previous article/entities when needed.

• Created with React/Redux, PostgreSQL, Node/Hapi.js and other tools.

• Entities saved in PostgreSQL to reduce network requests to third-party API and to take data out of state for better performance.

• Utilized methods such as shouldComponentUpdate and only connecting Components to props they will use rather than the entire state. This stops re-rendering when nothing has changed and improves app optimization.

• Set up back-end authentication.

• Added tests.

• Setting up front-end authentication to work with back-end authentication. Thus for now go to Start Extraction link to get started, there is no need to signup/signin as it is not currently working.

You will need to configure a few files in the config folder before getting started:

• Sign up to obtain an Aylien ID and API key.
• Have PostgreSQL installed on your OS. Include your username and password.

Once you have that setup:

• run npm start in one tab in your terminal.
• run npm run dev in another tab.
• run psql entitydb in another tab. ( \d to see all tables, \x to see tables in better view, SELECT * FROM TABLENAMEHERE to access the table, \q to exit).

If you plan to reuse please make sure to .gitignore things like your API key and PostgreSQL username/password:

In .gitignore :

node_modules   
config/aylien.config.js   
config/database.config.js   
config/config.js   
npm_debug.log   
.DS_Store   
dist/
