How to edit the config.js file

Do not edit the json files in /components as they will be updated when you start node app The config.js has three main parts

  1. serverSettings The server setting is where you set information like port number

  2. appSettings app settings is where you set the title, font, colours and give the elastic database information. The following is better documented here

    • elasticApp - name of database
    • credentials - username:password if required
    • elasticURI - the url of the server if needed
    • type - the type of database you are using

  3. databaseMap Database map is where you can bind the content of the database to the GUI the only required field is fullname which has to be unique. For example if there is a variable called picture and you want to show it then set

    avatar: 'picture',
