The project is sort of a bare metal fullstack application, that can help you get started with Elasticsearch.
To run the application you need to have Elasticsearch installed locally, you can do that by
docker network create elastic
docker pull docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.15.2
docker run --name es01-test --net elastic -p 127.0.0.1:9200:9200 -p 127.0.0.1:9300:9300 -e "discovery.type=single-node" docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.15.2
Then you can install the project dependencies by running
npm install
Now we have to inject our dataset that we'll query later into Elasticsearch, you can do that using,
node server/insertToElasticSearch.js
Once the data is injested successfully, you first have to start the express server, you can do that with
node server/index.js
then in a different terminal you can start the react application using
npm start
