Next-gen AiiDA provenance explorer

A React component to explore AiiDA provenance.

This is a new version under development with the goal to replace https://github.com/materialscloud-org/aiida-explorer.

The initial version of this tool was created by Sharan Poojari during Google Summer of Code 2024 (see the final report).

This repository contains

the AiidaExplorer component (library), which is also published to npm; and
a demo page illustrating the usage, which is deployed to github pages (https://aiidateam.github.io/aiida-explorer/).

Installation and usage

Install via

npm install aiida-explorer

And use with the following (note that the components needs to be inside a Routes object as it contains Route objects itself.)

import { BrowserRouter, Routes, Route } from "react-router-dom";

import AiidaExplorer from "aiida-explorer";

<BrowserRouter>
  <Routes>
    <Route path="/*" element={<AiidaExplorer apiUrl={aiidaRestApiUrl} />} />
  </Routes>
</BrowserRouter>;

where aiidaRestApiUrl is the base url of the AiiDA REST API.

Development

Using the demo page

For development, start the demo page by

npm install
npm run dev

Building and testing locally the library

To build just the AiidaExplorer component and test locally in an external application (e.g. before publishing to npm), use

npm run build:lib
npm pack

which will create a .tgz file that can then be installed by the external application via

npm install /path/to/aiida-explorer-x.y.z.tgz

Publishing a new version of the library on npm

To make a new version and publish to npm via GitHub Actions:

npm version <major/minor/patch>
git push --follow-tags

Deploying the demo page to github-pages

The demo page is deployed to Github pages automatically from the main branch.

Additionally, any pull request gets deployed in it's own subpath as well.

Manual deployment to Github pages should not be done, as that might break any PR previews.
