The COSMOS visualizer codebase consists of several applications that build training datasets and showcase model results for the COSMOS knowledge-base extraction pipeline.
This repository organizes several applications that facilitate the COSMOS data pipeline, including collecting model training data and providing searchable interfaces over the output. These interfaces reuse common components, and the repository is structured to maintain independence between the apps with minimal code duplication. In Version 2 (December 2020), this repository was reorganized as a "monorepo" with a structure for many packages within a common workspace.
Applications, housed in the apps/*
directories, are all built with a common
Webpack configuration. Several apps are provided:
tagger-demo
: A single-page demo of the training-data collection interface, for debugging purposestagger-xdd
: A tagging application to sit atop the COSMOS deployment backed by xDD.visualizer
: A standalone visualizer application.visualizer-xdd
: A visualizer application to sit atop different "sets" of documents managed by xDD. This is the a key public interface for our Phase 2 ASKE work of integrating xDD and COSMOS. A running instance can be found here.
Each application directory contains a Dockerfile
allowing
that application to be built into a container. For now, each of these Dockerfile
s
must use the root directory of this repository as their context.
Some of the applications expect or allow configuration with environment variables.
Sensible defaults are provided where possible. For local development, default values
can be overridden by setting environment variables or in a .env
file in the application
directory. For Docker builds, these variables can be specified as build arguments. Check
the .env.example
or Dockerfile
in each application directory for more information.
There is currently a single shared package (the frontend-shared
directory)
in the repository. Over time, we will split this package into subsidiary packages
within the packages
directory. Some of these will eventually be published to NPM and/or
spun off into separate repositories.
This repository is set up for local development and Dockerized deployment. Currently, all apps are purely frontend code, so S3 static deployments are possible as well.
- Make sure you have at least NPM version 7 (released late 2020) on your system: we
require its workspace support
to bundle our linked packages. You can check this by running
npm --version
, and update usingnpm install -g npm@7
if you need to upgrade. - Install NPM modules in the root of this repository
npm install
- Run the app you are interested in, one of two ways:
- Change to the
apps/<your-app>
directory and runnpm run dev
- Most apps provide a shorthand invocation from the root directory:
npm run <your-app>
- Change to the
- A Webpack dev server containing
the app will be available on
localhost:8080
.
To build for deployment, run npm install
followed by npm build
in the
application directory. This will bundle files into the apps/dist/<your-app>
directory.
Dockerfile
s are provided for some of the apps. For now, these should be
be used in the root context of this repository, as such:
docker build -t xdd_cosmos_tagger:latest -f apps/tagger-xdd/Dockerfile .
Once built, containers can be run on localhost:8080
:
docker run -p 8080:80 xdd_cosmos_tagger:latest
.
This sequence of commands is exposed in the Makefile
for several apps,
so you can spin up a server by using e.g. make visualizer-xdd
.
Continuous integration is used to build Docker containers for the xDD tagger and visualizer applications.
The xDD application wraps COSMOS visualizers for all of the document sets organized within the xDD API. Since all of the endpoint configuration is provided by the API, it has a much simpler configuration than the the standalone visualizer (for now).
This app is set up with continuous integration for development and deployment. The running app can be found here.
The core visualizer application provides a searchable interface to the output of a
COSMOS pipeline. The API_BASE_URL
should be set to a running COSMOS pipeline
exposing a search API.
The API_ERROR_MESSAGE
: environment variable can be provided to forward an error
to the user in case of API outage. This disables all search functionality if set.
