# Brainy Web Service

A secure, read-only web service wrapper for the Brainy vector graph database. This service exposes Brainy's search capabilities through RESTful API endpoints, designed specifically as a search service with comprehensive security measures.

## Features

- 🔒 **Read-only by design** - Only safe search operations are exposed
- 🚀 **RESTful API** - Clean, well-documented HTTP endpoints
- 🛡️ **Security-first** - Rate limiting, input validation, CORS, and security headers
- 📊 **Comprehensive search** - Vector search, text search, similarity search
- 🔍 **Flexible querying** - Support for noun types, verb filtering, and pagination
- 📈 **Production-ready** - Proper error handling, logging, and graceful shutdown
- 🌐 **CORS enabled** - Ready for browser-based applications

### Option 5: Serverless Deployment
```javascript
// For serverless platforms, wrap the service:
const express = require('express');
const app = require('@soulcraft/brainy-web-service');

module.exports = app;
```

## Configuration

Configure the service using environment variables:

```bash
# Server configuration
PORT=3000                    # Server port (default: 3000)
HOST=0.0.0.0                # Server host (default: 0.0.0.0)

# Local Storage configuration (fallback)
BRAINY_DATA_PATH=/path/to/data  # Path to Brainy database files (used when no cloud storage configured)
FORCE_LOCAL_STORAGE=true    # Force local filesystem storage (ignores cloud storage config)

# Security configuration
CORS_ORIGIN=*               # CORS origin (default: *)
RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW=900000    # Rate limit window in ms (default: 15 minutes)
RATE_LIMIT_MAX=100          # Max requests per window (default: 100)

# Environment
NODE_ENV=production         # Environment mode
```

### Cloud Storage Configuration

The service automatically detects and uses cloud storage when configured. If no cloud storage is configured, it falls back to local filesystem storage.

#### AWS S3
```bash
S3_BUCKET_NAME=my-brainy-bucket
S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE    # or AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY    # or AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
S3_REGION=us-west-2                      # or AWS_REGION
```

#### Cloudflare R2
```bash
R2_BUCKET_NAME=my-brainy-bucket
R2_ACCOUNT_ID=your-account-id
R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-r2-access-key
R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-r2-secret-key
```

#### Google Cloud Storage (S3-compatible)
```bash
GCS_BUCKET_NAME=my-brainy-bucket
GCS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-gcs-access-key
GCS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-gcs-secret-key
GCS_ENDPOINT=https://storage.googleapis.com  # Optional, defaults to GCS endpoint
```

#### Azure Blob Storage (S3-compatible)

```bash
S3_BUCKET_NAME=my-brainy-container
S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-storage-account-name
S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-storage-account-key
S3_REGION=auto
# Note: Azure Blob Storage S3 compatibility may require additional configuration
```

```bash
S3_BUCKET_NAME=my-brainy-bucket
S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your-access-key
S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your-secret-key
S3_REGION=us-east-1
# Set custom endpoint via application configuration
```

const API_BASE = 'http://localhost:3000/api';

// Text search
async function searchText(query) {
  const response = await axios.post(`${API_BASE}/search/text`, {
    query: query,
    k: 10

  console.log('Search results:', results);
});
```

### Python

```python
import requests

API_BASE = 'http://localhost:3000/api'

def search_text(query, k=10):
    response = requests.post(f'{API_BASE}/search/text', json={
        'query': query,
        'k': k
    })
    return response.json()['results']

def search_vector(vector, k=10):
    response = requests.post(f'{API_BASE}/search', json={
        'vector': vector,
        'k': k
    })
    return response.json()['results']

def get_item(item_id):

    }
}
```

## Development

### Setup

```bash
git clone https://github.com/soulcraft-research/brainy.git
cd brainy/web-service-package
npm install
```

### Development Mode

```bash
npm run dev
```

### Building

```bash
npm run build
```

### Testing

```bash
npm test
```

## Monitoring

### Health Checks

The service provides health check endpoints for monitoring:

- `GET /health` - Basic health check
- `GET /api/status` - Detailed database status

### Logging

All requests and errors are logged to console. In production, consider using a logging service like Winston or Bunyan.

### Metrics

Consider integrating with monitoring solutions:
- Prometheus metrics
- New Relic
- DataDog
- Custom metrics via the status endpoint

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **Service won't start**
   - Check if the data directory exists and is readable
   - Verify Node.js version (requires >= 24.4.0)
   - Check port availability

2. **Database not found**
   - Ensure `BRAINY_DATA_PATH` points to valid Brainy database files
   - Check file permissions

3. **Rate limiting issues**
   - Adjust `RATE_LIMIT_MAX` and `RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW`
   - Consider implementing IP whitelisting

4. **Memory issues**
   - Monitor memory usage with large databases
   - Consider implementing pagination for large result sets

### Debug Mode

Enable debug logging:

```bash
NODE_ENV=development npm start
```
